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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Sound production and associated behavior of tagged fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in the Southern California Bight [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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

Biodiversity Strategies in Action—Empirical Evidence From the Food Value Chain

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is an increasing need for better understanding of firm activities that contribute to biodiversity preservation. Panwar, Ober, and Pinkse offer a valuable typology of corporate biodiversity protection strategies based on temporal and spatial dimensions, namely, the preloss (proactive) strategies of conservation and compensation, and the ...

Cetacean records along a coastal-offshore gradient in the Vitória-Trindade Chain, western South Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Oceanic waters are difficult to assess, and there are many gaps in knowledge regarding cetacean occurrence. To fill some of these gaps, this article provides important cetacean records obtained in the winter of 2010 during a dedicated expedition to ...

Ecosystem scale acoustic sensing reveals humpback whale behavior synchronous with herring spawning processes and re-evaluation finds no effect of sonar on humpback song occurrence in the Gulf of Maine in fall 2006. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
We show that humpback-whale vocalization behavior is synchronous with peak annual Atlantic herring spawning processes in the Gulf of Maine. With a passive, wide-aperture, densely-sampled, coherent hydrophone array towed north of Georges Bank in a Fall ...
