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 ...

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.

Structure and dynamics of the Gulf of Maine humpback whale population [PDF]

, 2007
Population structure and vital rates of Gulf of Maine (GOM) humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, were studied by a combination of longitudinal data, region-wide surveys and modern mark-recapture statistical methods.

Changes in dive behaviour during naval sonar exposure in killer whales, long-finned pilot whales, and sperm whales. [PDF]

, 2012
Anthropogenic underwater sound in the environment might potentially affect the behavior of marine mammals enough to have an impact on their reproduction and survival.

Assessing changing baleen whale distributions and reported incidents relative to vessel activity in the Northwest Atlantic.

PLoS ONE
Baleen 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.

How important are baleen whales as prey for killer whales (Orcinus orca) in high latitudes? [PDF]

, 2004
Transient-type killer whales (Orcinus orca) feed primarily or exclusively on marine mammals, however, whether large whales represent an important prey source for killer whales has been debated. A recent hypothesis by Springer et al. (2003) suggested that

Historical baleen plates indicate that once abundant Antarctic blue and fin whales demonstrated distinct migratory and foraging strategies

Ecology and Evolution
Southern hemisphere blue (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) and fin (Balaenoptera physalus) whales are the largest predators in the Southern Ocean, with similarities in morphology and distribution. Yet, understanding of their life history and foraging is
