Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Intra/Inter-Seasonal Exchanges Between Puerto Rico and the Southeastern Caribbean

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2019
A study of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae, Borowski, 1781) was conducted off Puerto Rico, from 2012 through 2016, in an attempt to understand the spatial and temporal connection among current low density areas throughout the southeastern ...

Evidence of a Lombard response in migrating humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) [PDF]

, 2014
The Lombard reflex is an increase in the subject's vocal levels in response to increased noise levels. This functions to maintain an adequate signal-to-noise ratio at the position of the receiver when noise levels vary.

Singing humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae favor specific frequency bands [PDF]

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2018
Many species alter their acoustic signals in response to environmental or anthropogenic factors. Differential use of frequency bands may occur as a result of overlapping biotic and abiotic sounds that interfere with communication signals between conspecifics.

Great Meteor Seamount Circulation Revisited: Insights Into Cold‐Water Coral Habitat Potential

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seamounts play a crucial role in shaping deep‐sea ecosystem structure, influencing ocean circulation, enhancing biological productivity, and supporting diverse marine life. The Great Meteor Seamount (GMS), is the largest seamount in the North Atlantic and a key ecological feature in the regional network of the Protected Areas of the Azores ...

Quantifying humpback whale song sequences to understand the dynamics of song exchange at the ocean basin scale [PDF]

, 2013
Humpback whales have a continually evolving vocal sexual display, or "song," that appears to undergo both evolutionary and "revolutionary" change. All males within a population adhere to the current content and arrangement of the song. Populations within

Tagging Very Small Fish: Two Effective and Low Impact Methods

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 3, Page 213-224, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Identifying individuals over time and across contexts is essential in many scientific fields. There are a variety of well‐established methods for uniquely marking individuals (e.g., visible implant elastomer, barcodes, paint). However, for some species, life history stages, and/or experiments, existing methods are not sufficient.

Humpback whales interfering when mammal-eating killer whales attack other species: mobbing behavior and interspecific altruism? [PDF]

, 2016
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are known to interfere with attacking killer whales (Orcinus orca). To investigate why, we reviewed accounts of 115 interactions between them. Humpbacks initiated the majority of interactions (57% vs.
