Adapting to a warmer ocean – seasonal shift of baleen whale movements over three decades [PDF]
Date of Acceptance: 11/02/2015Global warming poses particular challenges to migratory species, which face changes to the multiple environments occupied during migration. For many species, the timing of migration between summer and winter grounds and also

Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) behaviour determines habitat use in two Australian bays
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) require a suite of essential habitats during their long migration. Therefore, the identification of critical habitats is important for continuation of their successful recovery.

Male Humpback Whale Chorusing in Hawai‘i and Its Relationship With Whale Abundance and Density
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) with autonomous bottom-moored recorders is widely used to study cetacean occurrence, distribution and behaviors, as it is less affected by factors that limit other observation methods (e.g., vessel, land and aerial-based

Epigenetic estimation of age in humpback whales [PDF]
AbstractAge is a fundamental aspect of animal ecology, but is difficult to determine in many species. Humpback whales exemplify this as they have a lifespan comparable to humans, mature sexually as early as 4 years and have no reliable visual age indicators after their first year.

Humpback whale song on the southern ocean feeding grounds: implications for cultural transmission
Male humpback whales produce a long, complex, and stereotyped song on low-latitude breeding grounds; they also sing while migrating to and from these locations, and occasionally in high-latitude summer feeding areas.

Sound production and associated behavior of tagged fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in the Southern California Bight [PDF]
Background: For marine animals, acoustic communication is critical for many life functions, yet individual calling behavior is poorly understood for most large whale species. These topics are important for understanding whale social behavior and can also
