1) Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) produce a series of beautiful and varied sounds for a period of 7 to 30 minutes and then repeat the same series with considerable precision. We call such a performance "singing" and each repeated series of sounds a "song." 2) All prolonged sound patterns (recorded so far) of this species are in song form, and

Hydrodynamic design of the humpback whale flipper
Journal of Morphology, 1995AbstractThe humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is reported to use its elongate pectoral flippers during swimming maneuvers. The morphology of the flipper from a 9.02‐m whale was evaluated with regard to this hydrodynamic function. The flipper had a wing‐like, high aspect ratio plan‐form.

Visualizing the underwater behavior of humpback whales
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2006A new collaboration between visualization experts, engineers, and marine biologists has changed. For the first time, we can see and study the foraging behavior of humpback whales. Our study's primary objective was furthering the science of marine mammal ethology.

The Humpback Whale Acoustic Research Collaboration studies on the use of sound by humpback whales
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2006Humpback whales produce two different types of vocalizations with apparent difference functions: songs and social sounds. There is also the potential to use the sounds of their environment, such as surf noise during migration along coasts, though this has not been demonstrated.

Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences
The release of Songs of the Humpback Whale in 1970 helped galvanize a torrent of North American activism to save the whale from commercial whaling. Whale song quickly became a cornerstone of environmentalist and New Age political culture. This article places humpback whale song science in the larger context of acoustic science and technology, arguing ...

Recording Whale Watching Tour and Humpback Whale Collisions
2023The purpose of this research protocol is to record collisions caused by whale watching boat tours. We make use of remotely operated water vehicles to collect video footage of whale watching tours and analyze the footage simultaneously. This data will be taken over a five year period at multiple whale watching sites along the coast of Mo'orea, French ...
