Long-term frequency changes of a potential baleen whale call from the central Indian Ocean during 2002–2019 [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2021 The multiple baleen whales of the central Indian Ocean use distinct calls, with their acoustic signatures marking their respective geographic distributions.

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 ...

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.

Timing is everything: Drivers of interannual variability in blue whale migration. [PDF]
, 2020 Blue whales need to time their migration from their breeding grounds to their feeding grounds to avoid missing peak prey abundances, but the cues they use for this are unknown.

Synchronous seasonal change in fin whale song in the North Pacific. [PDF]
, 2014 Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) song consists of down-swept pulses arranged into stereotypic sequences that can be characterized according to the interval between successive pulses. As in blue (B. musculus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae),

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 ...
