Passive acoustic tracking of singing humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) on a northwest Atlantic feeding ground. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Passive acoustic tracking provides an unobtrusive method of studying the movement of sound-producing animals in the marine environment where traditional tracking methods may be costly or infeasible.

Global diversity and oceanic divergence of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 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.

Multivariate analysis of behavioural response experiments in humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). [PDF]
J Exp Biol, 2013 Summary The behavioural response study (BRS) is an experimental design used by field biologists to determine the function and /or behavioural effects of conspecific, heterospecific or anthropogenic stimuli. When carrying out these studies in marine mammals it is difficult to make basic observations and achieve sufficient samples sizes ...

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

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 ...
