Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This work aimed to apply the principles of skin mark analysis to a cetacean species to build a sex‐discrimination model exclusively based on photographic material. Relevant differences between sexes emerged in markings, with males presenting more social, aggression‐related, and fishing‐related marks overall, and a stronger tendency of mark accumulation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 During winter months, humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) frequent the coastal waters of Virginia near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Located within the Bay is Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval military installation, and the Port of

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Antarctic humpback whales forage in summer, coincident with the seasonal abundance of their primary prey, the Antarctic krill. During the feeding season, humpback whales accumulate energy stores sufficient to fuel their fasting period lasting over six ...

Comparative review of entanglement risk assessments for cetacean conservation and management
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Cetacean entanglement in fishing gear remains a major global threat that exposes persistent gaps in how fisheries management frameworks manage risk to nontarget species. Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 To maintain a sustainable harvest of marine mammals, knowledge on key life history parameters such as age is essential. In West Greenland, humpback whale numbers were low during the 1980s due to past commercial whaling. However, the moratorium, which was

Assessing the recovery of an Antarctic predator from historical exploitation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The recovery of whale populations from centuries of exploitation will have important management and ecological implications due to greater exposure to anthropogenic activities and increasing prey consumption.

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) are listed as Endangered in Australia due to past commercial exploitation. Currently, they are experiencing contemporary declines in population growth rates. Knowledge of critical periods and habitats in whale occupancy and reproduction is crucial for conservation efforts.

Utility of telomere length measurements for age determination of humpback whales
NAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2014 This study examines the applicability of telomere length measurements by quantitative PCR as a tool for minimally invasive age determination of free-ranging cetaceans.
