Use of glacial fronts by narwhals ( Monodon monoceros ) in West Greenland [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2016 Glacial fronts are important summer habitat for narwhals ( Monodon monoceros ); however, no studies have quantified which glacial properties attract whales. We investigated the importance of glacial habitats using telemetry data from n = 15 whales tagged in September of 1993, 1994, 2006 and ...

Tusk anomalies in narwhals (Monodon monoceros) from Greenland
Polar Research, 2022 The elongated, spiraled tusk of male narwhals (Monodon monoceros) grows continuously throughout the life of the whale and is most likely a secondary sexual trait used in male–male hierarchical competition and possibly in female mate choice.

Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) associations with Greenland summer meltwater release
EcosphereClimate change is rapidly transforming the coastal margins of Greenland. At the same time, there is increasing recognition that marine‐terminating glaciers provide unique and critical habitats to ice‐associated top predators.

Evidence of a narwhal (Monodon monoceros) summer ground in Nares Strait
Polar ResearchOur limited knowledge of the marine mammal fauna in northernmost Greenland and Canada, specifically north of 80°N, relies largely on opportunistic observations collected during expeditions with different objectives.

Vocal sequences in narwhals (Monodon monoceros) [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020 Sequences are indicative of signal complexity in vocal communication. While vocal sequences are well-described in birds and terrestrial mammals, the extent to which marine mammals use them is less well understood. This study documents the first known examples of sequence use in the narwhal (Monodon monoceros), a gregarious Arctic cetacean. Eight female
