Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea

J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023
Humpback whales were considered extremely rare in the Mediterranean Sea until recently. Only two confirmed records were known from a period of more than 100 years and both were from the western basin. However, nine new observations spread across both Mediterranean basins have been recorded since 1990.

Hirnlipom beim Buckelwal, Megaptera novaeangliae [PDF]

Pathologia veterinaria, 1966
A case of basal lipoma at the border of the pons and medulla oblongata is described in a male, adult humpback whale. The tumor was relatively isomorphic and had angiomatous structures in its capsule. The adjacent choroid plexus showed stromal proliferation with atrophy of the papillae and hyperplasia of the taenia chorioidea.

Temporal stability and change in the social call repertoire of migrating humpback whales [PDF]

, 2013
Quantifying the stability of a species vocal repertoire is fundamental for further investigations into repertoire function and geographic variation. Changes to the repertoire of sounds used in the song displays of male humpback whales have been well ...

A Note on Suckling Behavior and Laterality in Nursing Humpback Whale Calves from Underwater Observations

Animals, 2017
We investigated nursing behavior on the Hawaiian breeding grounds for first year humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) calves. We observed and video-documented underwater events with nursing behavior from five different whale groups.
