Decadal Shifts in Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis) Recovery in South Australian Waters: Implications for Conservation and Management

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) have shown population recovery since protection from commercial whaling and are considered a flagship species for successful conservation management. However, recovery remains incomplete, with recent evidence suggesting slowed growth and variability in reproductive success. This project used 30 years

Drone‐Based Photogrammetry Provides Estimates of the Energetic Cost of Migration for Humpback Whales Between Antarctica and Colombia

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monitoring the body condition of animals offers insights into their energetic needs, prey consumption, and vulnerability to environmental pressures. Southern hemisphere humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) depend on Antarctic krill for their annual energy requirements.

Evidence for a Decrease in Vocalizations During Bubble Burst Production in Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, prior work has suggested that whistle vocalizations often have been observed to co‐occur with one bubble type, the bubble stream. However, vocal correlates have not been identified for another type of bubble, the bubble burst. While watching research session recordings, we serendipitously observed an absence of

Summer Diet of Humpback Whales in the Northern Strait of Georgia, British Columbia (Canada), Revealed by Stable Isotope Analysis

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT North Pacific humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) have recovered rapidly following their depletion by commercial whaling. Diet studies are necessary to assess food web implications of their recovery. This study investigates the diet composition of humpback whales foraging in the northern Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada, an ...

First At‐Sea Identifications of Ginkgo‐Toothed Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon ginkgodens): Acoustics, Genetics, and Biological Observations Off Baja California, México

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2024, an expedition was conducted off northwestern Baja California, México, to find and identify the beaked whale species that produced the BW43 echolocation pulse previously recorded in this area and elsewhere in the North Pacific. There were five Mesoplodon sightings and 21 BW43 acoustic detections on both a towed array and drifting pole ...
