A survey of cetaceans found in Mayo Bay, Davao Oriental, Philippines
Davao Research Journal, 2019 Cetaceans play an important role in marine ecosystems through the regulation of their prey population. Data on these organisms is scarce because of the difficulties in studying them in the wild.

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 ...

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 ...

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

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 ...
