Genetic tagging of humpback whales

Nature, 1997
The ability to recognize individual animals has substantially increased our knowledge of the biology and behaviour of many taxa. However, not all species lend themselves to this approach, either because of insufficient phenotypic variation or because tag attachment is not feasible.

Modeling changes in baleen whale seasonal abundance, timing of migration, and environmental variables to explain the sudden rise in entanglements in California.

PLoS ONE, 2021
We document changes in the number of sightings and timing of humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae), blue (Balaenoptera musculus), and gray (Eschrichtius robustus) whale migratory phases in the vicinity of the Farallon Islands, California.

The Role of Environmental Drivers in Humpback Whale Distribution, Movement and Behavior: A Review

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, are a highly migratory species exposed to a wide range of environmental factors during their lifetime. The spatial and temporal characteristics of such factors play a significant role in determining suitable ...

Epigenetic estimation of age in humpback whales [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2014
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 genomes reflect the increased efficiency of commercial whaling [PDF]

Sci Adv
Genetic diversity is declining globally, a trend that may particularly affect exploited populations that must adapt to rapid environmental change and other threats. Estimated genomic changes in effective population size mirrored known whaling history and shifts in technology.

Comparing the social signaling behavior of humpback whales in three group types on the Hawaiian breeding grounds using acoustic tags

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are exceptionally vocal among baleen whale species. While extensive research has been conducted on humpback whale songs, gaps remain in our understanding of other forms of communication, particularly non-song ...

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Song on a Subarctic Feeding Ground

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are known to produce long complex sequences of structured vocalizations called song. Singing behavior has traditionally been associated with low latitude breeding grounds but is increasingly reported outside ...

The Influence of the East Australian Current on the Regional Distribution of Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrate annually along the east coast of Australia, utilizing various habitats, including open embayments such as the Gold Coast bay (GCB) in southeast Queensland, for resting and social behaviors.
