Humpback whales have been the subject of numerous behavioral studies. Humpback males are thought to use three main strategies to obtain matings: singing long and complex songs, “escorting” females with young calves, and direct competition with other males in “competitive groups” (Clapham, 1996...
Whales also foraged more intensively with increasing proximity to areas from which the ice edge had recently retreated, suggesting heightened productivity in these areas. The relationship between the animals and the physical features of the seascape, as well as the behavioral plasticity observed, could...
Our study quantitatively demonstrates that at least five call types are present within the humpback whale repertoire across genetically independent populations, generational time, and contrasting behavioral contexts. We found that humpback whales on Hawaiian (HI) breeding grounds in the 1980’s used the ...
40 reported that the behavioral response of baleen whales in the coastal water near Madagascar were predicted best when chlorophyll was included in statistical models. In addition, the timing of the migratory baleen whales at the Azores is highly correlated with the North Atlantic spring bloom39. ...

The population identity of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae in the Arabian Sea has long been a matter of dispute. New information is presented from this region, based upon whaling and observations conducted by the Soviet Union, primarily in November 1966. In that month, a total of 238 hump...
