Zoop to poop: assessment of microparticle loads in gray whale zooplankton prey and fecal matter reveal high daily consumption rates

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The ocean continues to be a sink for microparticle (MP) pollution, which includes microplastics and other anthropogenic debris. While documentation of MP in marine systems is now common, we lack information on rates of MP ingestion by baleen whales and ...

Population ecology of Blainville's beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Quantifying population demographics is necessary to analyse the status of wildlife populations and to support effective conservation and management. Such a need exists for beaked whales which are vulnerable to anthropogenic noise, including navy sonar.

Integrating the needs of recovering populations of baleen whales into the revised management framework for the commercial fishery for Antarctic krill

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
We consider how the ongoing recovery of baleen whale populations requires improved understanding when managing the largest commercial fishery in the Southern Ocean, the fishery for Antarctic krill.

Distribution and migrations of cetaceans in the Russian Arctic according to observations from aerial ice reconnaissance

open access: yesNAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2002
This paper is based on 748 observations of belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) and 382 observations of baleen whales in the Russian Arctic, the majority of the data provided by aerial reconnaissance of sea ice (ARSI).

Stable isotope records of sei whale baleens from Chilean Patagonia as archives for feeding and migration behavior

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope variations in baleen plates of sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis) stranded after a mass mortality event in Chilean Patagonia were investigated to assess potential dietary and migratory patterns. Carbon and

On the Growth of the Baleen Plate of the Fin Whale and the Blue Whale [PDF]

open access: yesBijdragen tot de Dierkunde, 1965
1. In Whales variations in the thickness of the baleen plates are supposed to give an insight into certain cyclical processes in the life of the animal. To a certain extent, by means of these variations, it is possible to reach conclusions about the age of the animal and/or about its recent period of life.

Using accelerometers to determine the calling behavior of tagged baleen whales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Low-frequency acoustic signals generated by baleen whales can propagate over vast distances, making the assignment of calls to specific individuals problematic.
