A deep dive into fat: Investigating blubber lipidomic fingerprint of killer whales and humpback whales in northern Norway. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
In cetaceans, blubber is the primary and largest lipid body reservoir. Our current understanding about lipid stores and uses in cetaceans is still limited, and most studies only focused on a single narrow snapshot of the lipidome.

Found: a missing breeding ground for endangered western North Pacific humpback whales in the Mariana Archipelago

Endangered Species Research, 2020
Humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae that breed in the western North Pacific (WNP) are listed as endangered under the US Endangered Species Act. Previous research in the WNP concluded that the full extent of humpback whale breeding areas is unknown ...

The Sonar Model for Humpback Whale Song Revised

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Why do humpback whales sing? This paper considers the hypothesis that humpback whales may use song for long range sonar. Given the vocal and social behavior of humpback whales, in several cases it is not apparent how they monitor the movements of distant

What do humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae (Cetartiodactyla: Balaenopteridae) pairs do after tagging?

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2014
The social structure of humpback whales in their tropical wintering grounds is very fluid. To date, no information has been published for cases in which two whales were both satellite-tagged while in association.

The Beat Goes On: Humpback Whale Song Seasonality in Antarctic and South African Waters

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Little is known of the movements and seasonal occurrence of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) of South Africa and the Antarctic, populations once brought to near extinction by historic commercial whaling.

More of the same: allopatric humpback whale populations share acoustic repertoire [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widespread, vocal baleen whale best known for producing song, a complex, repetitive, geographically distinct acoustic signal sung by males, predominantly in a breeding context.

Exploring the Use of Seabirds as a Dynamic Ocean Management Tool to Mitigate Anthropogenic Risk to Large Whales

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Vessel strike and entanglement in fishing gear are global threats to large whales. United States management actions to reduce human-induced serious injury and mortality to large whales have been inadequate, partially due to static, spatial protection ...

Foraging movements of humpback whales relate to the lateral and vertical distribution of capelin in the Barents Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Understanding how individual animals modulate their behaviour and movement patterns in response to environmental variability plays a central role in behavioural ecology.
