advertisement of body size and therefore of fitness for breeding (Tyack and Clark, 2000). Vocal advertising may be an important component of baleen whale behavior, particularly for solitary males that may be separated from other conspecifics by long distances, and therefore out of range for visual...
humpbacks will slap the water vertically with their tail. The sound produced from the action can travel miles under the water, indicating that communication is quite possibly one of the purposes of this behavior. Whale biologists’ theories on ...
Humpback whale vocal behaviour also varies throughout the annual cycle. Humpback whale song is produced primarily by males49,50,51and is mainly associated with reproductive behavior at low latitudes, although song also occurs regularly on foraging grounds51,52,53. Song consists of a rhythmic, repea...
In addition to the lead researchers, Dr. Josie Hubbard, Lisa Walker, and Jodi Frediani, who specialize in animal intelligence, humpback whale song analysis, and photography and behavior ofhumpback whales, respectively, are also coauthors of the paper. The Whale-SETI team is currently preparin...
Individual photo-ID data have advanced the understanding of humpback whale behavior, ecology and conservation issues based on many regional study efforts13,14,25,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41. However, after SPLASH ended in 2006, local and regional photo-ID datasets were seldom...

Patterns of breeding-site movement and fidelity are functions of social structure and are frequently sex biased. We report on a female humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) first identified by natural markings off Brazil that subsequently was photographed off Madagascar. The minimum travel distance ...
Much of what is known about humpback whale song learning and fine-scale song structure comes from the songs of the east Australian population12,14,27,28. There is typically a consistent one-year delay in song transmission from east Australia to its closest neighbouring population, New Caledonia14...
The Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean (ASSO) has one of the highest densities of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) compared to other polar and subpolar regions, which attracts migratory baleen whale species to aggregate in this area for feeding. Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) also ...
