Humpback whale song recordings suggest common feeding ground occupation by multiple populations. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Humpback whale males are known to sing on their low-latitude breeding grounds, but it is well established that songs are also commonly produced ‘off-season’ on the feeding grounds or during migration.
