Scaling of swimming performance in baleen whales [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019
The scale-dependence of locomotor factors have long been studied in comparative biomechanics, but remain poorly understood for animals at the upper extremes of body size. Rorqual baleen whales include the largest animals, but we lack basic kinematic data about their movements and behavior below the ocean surface.

Distribution, abundance, and feeding ecology of baleen whales in Icelandic waters: have recent environmental changes had an effect? [PDF]

, 2015
Date of Acceptance: 13/01/2015The location of Iceland at the junction of submarine ridges in the North-East Atlantic where warm and cold water masses meet south of the Arctic Circle contributes to high productivity of the waters around the island. During

Advancing baleen whale acoustic and habitat monitoring in the Northwest Atlantic

, 2022
Baleen whales of the Northwest Atlantic live in an urbanized ocean. They attempt a slow recovery from commercial whaling amid threats from the infrastructure, pollution, and shifting environmental baseline associated with human exploitation of the ...

Molecular markers in keratins from Mysticeti whales for species identification of baleen in museum and archaeological collections.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Baleen has been harvested by indigenous people for thousands of years, as well as collected by whalers as an additional product of commercial whaling in modern times.

Fin whale sound reception mechanisms: skull vibration enables low-frequency hearing. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Hearing mechanisms in baleen whales (Mysticeti) are essentially unknown but their vocalization frequencies overlap with anthropogenic sound sources. Synthetic audiograms were generated for a fin whale by applying finite element modeling tools to X-ray ...

Using accelerometers to determine the calling behavior of tagged baleen whales [PDF]

, 2014
Low-frequency acoustic signals generated by baleen whales can propagate over vast distances, making the assignment of calls to specific individuals problematic.

A single-station method for the detection, classification and location of fin whale calls using ocean-bottom seismic stations [PDF]

, 2015
Passive seismic monitoring in the oceans uses long-term deployments of Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBSs). An OBS usually records the three components of ground motion and pressure, typically at 100Hz.
