Differences in the functional use of two migratory stopovers by humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). [PDF]
PLoS ONEHumpback whale migration between tropical breeding grounds and polar feeding grounds is an energy-intensive activity undertaken on finite energy stores. The use of stopover sites to rest reduces energetic expenditure and provides enhanced opportunity for

Fuzzy clustering as a tool to differentiate between discrete and graded call types [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2021 Animals may communicate potential information to conspecifics using stereotyped “discrete” calls and variable “graded” calls. However, animal vocal research often centers on identifying the number of call types in a repertoire rather than quantifying the

Predicting seasonal movements and distribution of the sperm whale using machine learning algorithms
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Implementation of effective conservation planning relies on a robust understanding of the spatiotemporal distribution of the target species. In the marine realm, this is even more challenging for species rarely seen at the sea surface due to their ...

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Song on a Subarctic Feeding Ground
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are known to produce long complex sequences of structured vocalizations called song. Singing behavior has traditionally been associated with low latitude breeding grounds but is increasingly reported outside ...
