Estimating blue whale skin isotopic incorporation rates and baleen growth rates: Implications for assessing diet and movement patterns in mysticetes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Stable isotope analysis in mysticete skin and baleen plates has been repeatedly used to assess diet and movement patterns. Accurate interpretation of isotope data depends on understanding isotopic incorporation rates for metabolically active tissues and ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Baleen from mysticete whales is a well-preserved proteinaceous material that can be used to identify migrations and feeding habits for species whose migration pathways are unknown. Analysis of δ13C and δ15N values from bulk baleen have been used to infer

Severe Bone Loss as Part of the Life History Strategy of Bowhead Whales. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The evolution of baleen constituted a major evolutionary change that made it possible for baleen whales to reach enormous body sizes while filter feeding on tiny organisms and migrating over tremendous distances.

The biology of South African Bryde's whales [PDF]
, 2010 The biology of South African Bryde’s whales (Balaenoptera brydei/edeni), with a focus on the inshore form, was investigated through estimates of abundance and survival rate, seasonality of occurrence and variation in mitochondrial and nuclear DNA ...

Case studies on longitudinal mercury content in humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) baleen
Heliyon, 2022 Quantification of contaminant concentrations in baleen whales is important for individual and population level health assessments but is difficult due to large migrations and infrequent resighings.

Adapting to a warmer ocean – seasonal shift of baleen whale movements over three decades [PDF]
, 2015 Date of Acceptance: 11/02/2015Global warming poses particular challenges to migratory species, which face changes to the multiple environments occupied during migration. For many species, the timing of migration between summer and winter grounds and also
