Case studies on longitudinal mercury content in humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) baleen [PDF]
Heliyon, 2022 Quantification of contaminant concentrations in baleen whales is important for individual and population level health assessments but is difficult due to large migrations and infrequent resighings.

Migratory destinations and spatial structuring of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) wintering off Nicaragua [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Understanding the migratory patterns of large whales is of conservation importance, especially in identifying threats to specific populations. Migration ecology, including migratory destinations, movements and site fidelity for humpback whales (Megaptera

A mammalian messenger RNA sex determination method from humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) blubber biopsies [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 The large size of free-ranging mysticetes, such as humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), make capture and release health assessments unfeasible for conservation research.

Pathology and causes of death in stranded humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) from Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 This study describes the pathologic findings of 24 humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) found stranded along the Brazilian coast from 2004 to 2016. Eighteen (75%) animals evaluated were found stranded alive. From these, 13 died naturally on shore and

Acoustic Signaling by Singing Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae): What Role Does Reverberation Play? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 When humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) sing in coastal waters, the units they produce can generate reverberation. Traditionally, such reverberant acoustic energy has been viewed as an incidental side-effect of high-amplitude, long-distance, sound ...

The Hug of a Humpback Whale Mother: Protective Behaviors of a Calf Toward Escorts in a Competitive Group at Abrolhos Bank, Brazil [PDF]
AnimalsWhile protective behaviors of baleen whales toward calves have been documented during predator attacks, they have not been observed in response to approach attempts by other males of the same species.

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
