Drone-based photogrammetry reveals differences in humpback whale body condition and mass across North Atlantic foraging grounds Open
Baleen whales are key consumers in marine ecosystems and can serve as ecosystem sentinels. Body condition, defined as an individual’s energy stores relative to its structural size, can provide a useful proxy for health in baleen whales. As…

Comparison of feeding niches between Arctic and northward-moving sub-Arctic marine mammals in Greenland Open
The climate change-induced northward movement of sub-Arctic marine mammals increases their range overlap and interactions with native Arctic species. We compared feeding patterns of 11 marine mammal species (4 Arctic and 7 sub-Arctic) in G…

Call type repertoire of killer whales (<i>Orcinus orca</i>) in Iceland and its variation across regions Open
Killer whales ( Orcinus orca ) have group‐specific call repertoires that can be used to track groups and populations using passive acoustic monitoring. To provide a detailed description of the Icelandic killer whale repertoire and its vari…

Cheap gulp foraging of a giga-predator enables efficient exploitation of sparse prey Open
The giant rorqual whales are believed to have a massive food turnover driven by a high-intake lunge feeding style aptly described as the world’s largest biomechanical action. This high-drag feeding behavior is thought to limit dive times a…

A note on cue rates for common minke, fin and humpback whales off West Greenland Open
Field observations of cue rates for common minke whales, fin whales and humpback whales were conducted in July 1996 and MaySeptember 2006. The cue for minke whales was usually the dorsal ridge breaking the water surface. A total of 295min …
