Diverse baleen whale acoustic occurrence around two sub-Antarctic islands: A tale of residents and visitors [PDF]
Scientific ReportsKnowledge on the occurrence and behaviour of baleen whales around sub-Antarctic regions is limited, and usually based on short, seasonal sighting research from shore or research vessels and whaling records, neither of which provide accurate and ...

Feasibility of Acoustic Remote Sensing of Large Herring Shoals and Seafloor by Baleen Whales [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2016 Recent research has found a high spatial and temporal correlation between certain baleen whale vocalizations and peak herring spawning processes in the Gulf of Maine.

A Miocene breeding ground of an extinct baleen whale (Cetacea: Mysticeti) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Locating breeding sites is definitely a key to understanding the ecological requirements and maintaining the sustainability of populations/species. Here I re-examined published specimens of an extinct baleen whale, Parietobalaena yamaokai, from the lower

Assessing changing baleen whale distributions and reported incidents relative to vessel activity in the Northwest Atlantic. [PDF]
PLoS ONEBaleen whales are among the largest marine megafauna, and while mostly well-protected from direct exploitation, they are increasingly affected by vessel traffic, interactions with fisheries, and climate change.

Blue and fin whales in the Northern Mariana Islands: Their call characteristics and occurrence. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMany baleen whale vocalizations are species-, or even population-specific and can be used to monitor their occurrence. Although baleen whale occurrence has been well studied in parts of the Pacific Ocean, little is known about the seasonal distribution ...

Baleen whale cortisol levels reveal a physiological response to 20th century whaling [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 It has recently been found that stress hormones accumulate in the earwax of whales. Here, the authors use these signatures of stress along with time series of ocean warming and whaling pressure to demonstrate that both stressors were correlated with ...

A new archaic baleen whale Toipahautea waitaki (early Late Oligocene, New Zealand) and the origins of crown Mysticeti [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 A new genus and species of extinct baleen whale †Toipahautea waitaki (Late Oligocene, New Zealand) is based on a skull and associated bones, from the lower Kokoamu Greensand, about 27.5 Ma (local upper Whaingaroan Stage, early Chattian).

Estimating the location of baleen whale calls using dual streamers to support mitigation procedures in seismic reflection surveys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 In order to mitigate against possible impacts of seismic surveys on baleen whales it is important to know as much as possible about the presence of whales within the vicinity of seismic operations. This study expands on previous work that analyzes single
