Adaptive Acoustic Monitoring for Endangered Cook Inlet Beluga Whales in Complex Soundscapes

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective conservation of the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) requires comprehensive spatiotemporal data, yet monitoring efforts remain spatially biased, underrepresenting important southern habitats. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides the necessary broad‐scale coverage, but its expansion introduces ...

Stranded humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) (Cetacea: Balaenopteridae) in Paraná River Delta, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Comments on the occurrence of marine mammals in the La Plata River Basin

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2018
The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is distributed among most oceans and seas of the globe (except Mediterranean Sea). These whales migrate from feeding regions in the Antarctic waters to breeding areas in tropical and subtropical seas.

High collocation of sand lance and protected top predators: Implications for conservation and management

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Spatial relationships between predators and prey provide critical information for understanding and predicting climate‐induced shifts in ecosystem dynamics and mitigating human impacts. We used Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary as a case study to

Global diversity and oceanic divergence of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) annually undertake the longest migrations between seasonal feeding and breeding grounds of any mammal. Despite this dispersal potential, discontinuous seasonal distributions and migratory patterns suggest that humpbacks form discrete regional populations within each ocean.

Dwarf Minke Whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) Mother and Calf Ecology in East and Southern Australia

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of mother–calf pairs, migratory patterns, female reproductive cycles, and birth‐year calf development are all essential for understanding risks in these critical life stages and monitoring little‐known dwarf minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) populations.

Microplastic in a macro filter feeder: Humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015
Marine filter feeders are exposed to microplastic because of their selection of small particles as food source. Baleen whales feed by filtering small particles from large water volumes. Macroplastic was found in baleen whales before. This study is the first to show the presence of microplastic in intestines of a baleen whale (Megaptera novaeangliae ...
