The Sonar Model for Humpback Whale Song Revised
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Why do humpback whales sing? This paper considers the hypothesis that humpback whales may use song for long range sonar. Given the vocal and social behavior of humpback whales, in several cases it is not apparent how they monitor the movements of distant

Ecography, EarlyView.Determining population status to inform mitigation of anthropogenic threats requires statistical approaches that investigate spatial and temporal variation. In the face of climate change it is increasingly important to differentiate between changes in population size and redistributions of populations.

Innovative Dual Rotor Wind Turbine Design Based on Humpback Whale Blades: Simulation Analysis
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.To enhance the performance of wind turbines, this study investigates the integration of two wind energy harvesting systems. An optimal wind turbine configuration has been identified by using dual rotor wind turbine technology with a novel blade design known as the humpback blade, which is inspired by the fins of humpback whales. ABSTRACT To enhance the

Whaling and whale killing methods
Animal Welfare, 2013 Subsistence whale hunting dates back to 400AD (Perrinet al2009). Large-scale industrialised whaling to provide whale oil commenced in the late nineteenth century. Hunts escalated in the early 20th century and reports to the International Whaling Commission (IWC) show that over two million great whales were killed in hunts in the Southern Ocean between ...

Family history of ADHD associates with stronger problem‐solving skills amongst 2‐ to 3‐year‐olds
JCPP Advances, EarlyView.In this study 129 UK 2‐ and 3‐year‐olds, and 74 Swedish 3‐year‐olds, with and without a family history of ADHD and autism, completed a problem‐solving task. Our results show that children with ADHD traits and/or a family history of ADHD are likely to have an aptitude for generative problem‐solving when presented with highly motivating, ecologically ...
