HUMPBACK WHALE (MEGAPTERA NOVAENGLIAE) CARDIAC DYNAMIC ANALYSIS USING PROBABILITY THEORY

, 2016
The cardiac behaviour of the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is described, in order to mathematically characterize its electrocardiogram (ECG) using the Dynamic Components of the System (DCS) and the probability theory.

Cytochrome P450 isozyme protein verified in the skin of southern hemisphere humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae): Implications for biochemical biomarker assessment

, 2011
Large mysticete whales represent a unique challenge for chemical risk assessment. Few epidemiological investigations are possible due to the low incidence of adult stranding events.

Historical catch records of humpback whales and the assessment of early 20th century sea ice edge in climate models

Environmental Research: Climate
Assessment of historical environmental conditions in the Southern Ocean is limited by sparse oceanographic records prior to remote-sensing data. Whale catch data, particularly from humpback whales, can help fill this gap, as these whales inhabit waters ...
