Do whales really increase the oceanic removal of atmospheric carbon?
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Whales have been titled climate savers in the media with their recovery welcomed as a potential carbon solution. However, only a few studies were performed to date providing data or model outputs to support the hypothesis.

Science, 2019 It's the prey that matters Although many people think of dinosaurs as being the largest creatures to have lived on Earth, the true largest known animal is still here today—the blue whale. How whales were able to become so large has long been of interest.

Cetacean spatial trends from 2005 to 2019 in Svalbard, Norway
Polar Research, 2022 This study uses cetacean sighting data, acquired via a citizen science programme, to update distributions and spatial trends of whales and dolphins in waters around the Svalbard Archipelago during the period 2005–2019.

Estimating body mass of free‐living whales using aerial photogrammetry and 3D volumetrics
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Body mass is a key life‐history trait in animals. Despite being the largest animals on the planet, no method currently exists to estimate body mass of free‐living whales.

Whistle detection and classification for whales based on convolutional neural networks
Applied Acoustics, 2019 Passive acoustic observation of whales is an increasingly important tool for whale research. Accurately detecting whale sounds and correctly classifying them into corresponding whale species are essential tasks, especially in the case when two species of

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 The Mediterranean Sea is greatly affected by marine litter. In this area, research on the impact of plastic debris (including microplastics) on biota, particularly large filter-feeding species such as the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), is still in ...
