WINTER FEEDING INTENSITY OF NARWHALS (MONODON MONOCEROS)

Marine Mammal Science, 2005
Stomach contents from 121 narwhals (Monondon monoceros) harvested in the eastern Canadian High Arctic and West Greenland were used to quantify seasonal changes in feeding activity and prey selection. Stomachs collected from summer harvests were mostly empty with little evidence of recent feeding.

The migratory behaviour of narwhals (Monodon monoceros)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2003
Sixteen female narwhals (Monodon monoceros) were tracked by satellite in 2000 and 2001 from their summering ground near Somerset Island in the Canadian High Arctic to their wintering ground in central Baffin Bay. The wintering ground location was spatially discrete from another narwhal wintering ground in southern Baffin Bay.

Seasonal breeding of the narwhal (Monodon monoceros L.)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1974
The narwhal (Monodon monoceros) has been shown to be a seasonal breeder, like the closely related beluga (Delphinapterus leucas). The gestation period is estimated to be about 14 months, while the reproductive cycle is 2 or 3 years. Narwhals appear similar to other odontocetes in those reproductive aspects for which there is information.

Organochlorine contaminants in narwhal (Monodon monoceros) from the Canadian Arctic

Environmental Pollution, 1992
Organochlorine pesticides (DDT, chlordane, polychlorinated camphenes (PCCs), dieldrin, hexachloroheclohexanes (SigmaHCH), mirex), polychlorinated biphenyl congeners (PCBs) and chlorobenzenes (SigmaCBz) were determined in blubber and liver of narwhal (Monodon monoceros) collected during 1982-1983 from Pond Inlet on northern Baffin Island in the Canadian

Low-molecular weight metalloproteins in tissues of the narwhal (Monodon monoceros)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1986
Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) liver and kidney cytosol were fractionated by gel chromatography, anion-exchange chromatography and electrophoresis. Cadmium was associated largely with low molecular weight proteins, while mercury was associated also with high molecular weight proteins, but apparently not because of saturation of the metallothionein ...

Inuit Hunt as a Platform for Observing Narwhals (Monodon monoceros) in Inglefield Bredning (Kangerlussuaq), Greenland

bioRxiv
Direct observations of narwhals are scarce but needed for understanding this ecologically and culturally important species. Here, we describe the first boat-based observations of narwhals in their key summering ground in Greenland (Inglefield Bredning ...

Aggressive tusk use by the narwhal (Monodon monoceros L.)

Nature, 1980
The narwhal, an Arctic odontocete, has two horizontally embedded teeth at birth1. In males and a few females, the left tooth erupts at the end of the first year (K. A. Hay, personal communication) and develops into a spiralled tusk, which can be up to 260 cm long. It has been suggested that the tusk is used to disturb potential benthic prey2; to pierce
