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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Theriogenology Wild, 2023 Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Southeast Alaska have been studied for over 50 years, and are largely considered a recovery success since the cessation of commercial whaling.
