Behavioural responses of humpback whales to food-related chemical stimuli.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Baleen whales face the challenge of finding patchily distributed food in the open ocean. Their relatively well-developed olfactory structures suggest that they could identify the specific odours given off by planktonic prey such as krill aggregations ...

DNA extraction from formalin-fixed Franciscana tissues [PDF]

, 2002
The present paper reports the extraction of DNA from formalin-fixed Pontoporia blainvillei tissues. Following the Vachot and Monerot (1996) protocol, fragmented DNA (300-700bp) was extracted from more than 95% of liver and muscle samples.

Isotopic Evidence of a Wide Spectrum of Feeding Strategies in Southern Hemisphere Humpback Whale Baleen Records.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Our current understanding of Southern hemisphere humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) ecology assumes high-fidelity feeding on Antarctic krill in Antarctic waters during summer, followed by fasting during their annual migration to and from equatorial ...

Minimizing Vessel Strikes to Endangered Whales: A Crash Course in Conservation Science and Policy [PDF]

, 2009
The North Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered of all large whales: about 350-400 individuals remain. Species recovery is, in part, contingent on reducing vessel-strike mortality.

From simple to sophisticated: characterization of new signals in the expanding vocal repertoire of the East Indian Ocean pygmy blue whale

Frontiers in Marine Science
In an underwater world, acoustic signaling is an important aspect of the social communication of marine mammal species with the complexity of a species’ vocal repertoire often considered to reflect the social complexity of the population.
