Beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) granulocytes and monocytes display variable responses to in vitro pressure exposures [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 While it is widely known that marine mammals possess adaptations which allow them to make repetitive and extended dives to great depths without suffering ill effects seen in humans, the response of marine mammal immune cells to diving is unknown. Renewed

Young Belugas Diversify Adult Beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) Behavior [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2015 Across the animal kingdom, immature animals are characterized by their playfulness and diversity of behavior, but are their actions enriching to adult conspecifics?

Beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) Novel Bubble Helix Play Behavior [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2014 Cetaceans demonstrate considerable ingenuity in their play with bubbles. Both wild and captive cetaceans have been reported to manipulate self-produced bubbles (Delfour & Aulagnier, 1997; Gewalt, 1989; Kuczaj, Makecha, Trone, Paulos, & Ramos, 2006 ...

Beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) behaviour in the presence of whale-watching vessels
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) are social animals that return to the same estuaries each summer season. The Western Hudson Bay belugas in the Churchill River estuary appear to be attracted to boats, resulting in whale-watching being a popular ...

Lateralized sound production in the beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2020 Like other toothed whales, belugas produce sound through pneumatic actuation of two phonic lip pairs, but it is unclear whether both pairs are actuated concurrently to generate a single sound (the dual actuation hypothesis) or laterally in the production of their rich vocal repertoires.
