Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea
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.

The social structure of humpback whales in their tropical wintering grounds is very fluid. To date, no information has been published for cases in which two whales were both satellite-tagged while in association.

Insights into Megaptera novaeangliae COI sequence analysis Over more than a decade ago, COI region have been widely studied with the purpose to develop a “barcode” for species (e.g., Arnason et al., 2004; Amaral et al., 2007). However, as occurs with any new genetic tool, the barcode method still presents some limitations, such as the low availability ...

Feeding grounds of the eastern South Pacific humpback whale population include the South Orkney Islands [PDF]
This paper reports on two photo-identified humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) that were sighted in different years in the proximity of the South Orkney Islands, at the boundary between the Scotia and Weddell seas (60°54.5'S—46
