Absorption spectra of sperm-whale ferrimyoglobin [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1966 1. Sperm-whale ferrimyoglobin was found to contain 0.308% of Fe, on a dry weight basis, corresponding to a molecular weight of 18130. The solid takes up moisture to an equilibrium state, and was then assayed to contain 0.280% of Fe. 2. Absorption spectra are presented for acidic ferrimyoglobin, Fe(+)(H(2)O), and its conjugate base, Fe-OH, as well as ...

Distinctive, fine‐scale distribution of Eastern Caribbean sperm whale vocal clans reflects island fidelity rather than environmental variables [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Environmental variables are often the primary drivers of species' distributions as they define their niche. However, individuals, or groups of individuals, may sometimes adopt a limited range within this larger suitable habitat as a result of social and ...

Nature, 1988 SIR-Your legend for the drawing of grey whales taken from Cyall Watson's book Whales of the World, perpetuates the myth that a 'helper' male is necessary for successful mating in this species. The legend states that: "Only one male is involved in the actual mating; the other takes an upright position on the far side of the female, acting as a prop or ...

The Sperm Whale and its Food [PDF]
Nature, 1896 THE services which H.S.H. the Prince of Monaco has rendered to the science of oceanography, during the last ten or twelve years, are familiar to every one interested in that department of research. First in the small schooner Hirondelle, with no power but the strong arms of his Breton crew, and later, in the large and perfectly equipped auxiliary steam

Contextual and combinatorial structure in sperm whale vocalisations [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are highly social mammals that communicate using sequences of clicks called codas. While a subset of codas have been shown to encode information about caller identity, almost everything else about the sperm whale ...
