Predicting spatiotemporal persistence of rare species: An example with North Atlantic right whales
Abstract Knowledge of when species remain in specified areas is essential for survey design, conservation, and management. Using species occurrence data to predict persistence in space and time (i.e., presence of one or more individuals of the species of interest within a defined spatial area over a duration of a specified number of days) may be ...

Source levels of social sounds in migrating humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) [PDF]
The source level of an animal sound is important in communication, since it affects the distance over which the sound is audible. Several measurements of source levels of whale sounds have been reported, but the accuracy of many is limited because the ...

Humpback whales off Peru: new records and a rationale for renewed research. Scientific Committee document SC/48/SH1, International Whaling Commission, June 1986, Aberdeen [PDF]
New records indicate that some Area I humpback whales are present in coastal upwelling waters off Peru and Chile during the austral summer, and thus apparently fail to migrate to the Antarctic.
