Effect of Leading Edge Protuberance on Thrust Production of a Dynamically Pitching Aerofoil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The paper presents a computational analysis of the characteristics of a NACA 634-021 aerofoil modified by incorporating sinusoidal leading-edge protuberances at Re = 14,000.

Source levels of foraging humpback whale calls [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018
Humpback whales produce a wide range of low- to mid-frequency vocalizations throughout their migratory range. Non-song “calls” dominate this species' vocal repertoire while on high-latitude foraging grounds. The source levels of 426 humpback whale calls in four vocal classes were estimated using a four-element planar array deployed in Glacier Bay ...

Applicability of Information Theory to the Quantification of Responses to Anthropogenic Noise by Southeast Alaskan Humpback Whales

open access: yesEntropy, 2008
We assess the effectiveness of applying information theory to the characterization and quantification of the affects of anthropogenic vessel noise on humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) vocal behavior in and around Glacier Bay, Alaska.

Perceptually Motivated Wavelet Packet Transform for Bioacoustic Signal Enhancement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A significant and often unavoidable problem in bioacoustic signal processing is the presence of background noise due to an adverse recording environment. This paper proposes a new bioacoustic signal enhancement technique which can be used on a wide range

Hemisphere‐Level Comparison of Climate‐Driven Humpback Whale Breeding Migrations to the Eastern Pacific Off Costa Rica

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study analyzed humpback whale occurrence off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica from 2001 to 2023, focusing on the Central America and Southeast Pacific Distinct Population Segments, using long‐term sightings and Bayesian time‐series and habitat models.

Epigenetic estimation of age in humpback whales [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular 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.

What Do We Know About Hybrid Blue (Balaenoptera musculus) and Fin (B. physalus) Whales? A Comprehensive Review Across Ocean Basins

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This review paper summarises the current knowledge on hybrids between blue and fin whales, from historical to contemporary observations, highlighting morphological and genetic identification across the world oceans. ABSTRACT Hybrids between blue (Balaenoptera musculus) and fin (B.

Numerical Investigation on Flow Separation Control of Low Reynolds Number Sinusoidal Aerofoils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The paper presents a computational analysis of the characteristics of a NACA 634- 021 aerofoil incorporated with sinusoidal leading-edge protuberances at Re = 14,000. The protuberances are characterized by an amplitude and wavelength of 12% and 50% of

Great Meteor Seamount Circulation Revisited: Insights Into Cold‐Water Coral Habitat Potential

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seamounts play a crucial role in shaping deep‐sea ecosystem structure, influencing ocean circulation, enhancing biological productivity, and supporting diverse marine life. The Great Meteor Seamount (GMS), is the largest seamount in the North Atlantic and a key ecological feature in the regional network of the Protected Areas of the Azores ...

A Note on Suckling Behavior and Laterality in Nursing Humpback Whale Calves from Underwater Observations

open access: yesAnimals, 2017
We investigated nursing behavior on the Hawaiian breeding grounds for first year humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) calves. We observed and video-documented underwater events with nursing behavior from five different whale groups.
