Modeling distribution and abundance of Antarctic baleen whales using ships of opportunity [PDF]

, 2012
Information on animal abundance and distribution is at the cornerstone of many wildlife and conservation strategies. However, these data can be difficult and costly to obtain for cetacean species.

Male humpback whales switch to singing in the presence of seismic air guns

Communications Biology
Ocean noise produced by seismic exploration has been implicated in causing changes in baleen whale hearing, physiology, feeding, breeding, and migratory behaviours.

A high-resolution 3D reconstructed skeleton of the extinct dwarf whale Cetotherium riabinini from Ukraine

Scientific Data
Cetotheres (family Cetotheriidae) were small-sized extinct baleen whales, likely the smallest among toothless baleen whales. Cetotherium riabinini Hofstein, 1948 is known as a single specimen, the holotype.

Molecular ecology of baleen whales

This thesis advanced our knowledge of the processes that lead to changes in genetic diversity over long and short time scales. Genetic methods were used in two baleen whale species. Chapter One provides a general overview of the knowledge gained employing genetic approaches at the population and individual levels. Chapter Two presented the results of a

Functional design and use of acoustic signals produced by killer whales (Orcinus orca) [PDF]

, 2012
This study aimed to investigate possible functions of the sounds produced by herring-eating killer whales in the Northeast Atlantic. In this study, I investigated the whistle repertoire of killer whales, which had previously only been studied in ...
