Feasibility of Acoustic Remote Sensing of Large Herring Shoals and Seafloor by Baleen Whales
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.

Largest baleen whale mass mortality during strong El Niño event is likely related to harmful toxic algal bloom [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 While large mass mortality events (MMEs) are well known for toothed whales, they have been rare in baleen whales due to their less gregarious behavior. Although in most cases the cause of mortality has not been conclusively identified, some baleen whale ...

On the Growth of the Baleen Plate of the Fin Whale and the Blue Whale [PDF]
Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde, 1965 1. In Whales variations in the thickness of the baleen plates are supposed to give an insight into certain cyclical processes in the life of the animal. To a certain extent, by means of these variations, it is possible to reach conclusions about the age of the animal and/or about its recent period of life.

Culture and conservation in baleen whales
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological SciencesCulture, defined as information or behaviours shared within a population and acquired from conspecifics through social learning, acts as a second inheritance system which has important implications for species' ecology and evolution. Understanding the influence of social learning and culture in animals' lives is essential to planning and predicting ...

Archaeocete-like jaws in a baleen whale [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2011 The titanic baleen whales (Cetacea, Mysticeti) have a bizarre skull morphology, including an elastic mandibular symphysis, which permits dynamic oral cavity expansion during bulk feeding. How this key innovation evolved from the sutured symphysis of archaeocetes has remained unclear. Now, mandibles of the Oligocene toothed mysticete
