Song complexity is maintained during inter-population cultural transmission of humpback whale songs
Scientific Reports, 2022 Among animal species, the songs of male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a rare example of social learning between entire populations. Understanding fine-scale similarity in song patterns and structural features will better clarify how ...

Thermal Imaging and Biometrical Thermography of Humpback Whales
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Determining species' distributions through time and space remains a primary challenge in cetacean science and conservation. For example, many whales migrate thousands of kilometers every year between remote seasonal habitats along migratory corridors ...

Acoustic Presence of Cetaceans in the Miaodao Archipelago, China
Animals, 2023 Once an important cetacean habitat, the Miaodao Archipelago has been altered by human-induced disturbances over several decades. While cetacean diversity is known to have decreased, no recent data on species diversity around Miaodao are known to exist ...

The effect of a multi-target protocol on cetacean detection and abundance estimation in aerial surveys [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 A double-platform protocol was implemented in the Bay of Biscay and English Channel during the SCANS-III survey (2016). Two observation platforms using different protocols were operating on board a single aircraft: the reference platform (Scans ...
