Megafaunal impacts on structure and function of ocean ecosystems
Here, we identify the extant species of marine megafauna (> 45 kg maximum reported
mass), provide a conceptual template for the ways in which these species influence the …

The multiple functions of male song within the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) mating system: review, evaluation, and synthesis
LM Herman - Biological Reviews, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Humpback whales (M egaptera novaeangliae) are seasonal breeders, annually migrating
from high‐latitude summer feeding grounds to low‐latitude winter breeding grounds. The …

Behavioral responses to predatory sounds predict sensitivity of cetaceans to anthropogenic noise within a soundscape of fear
PJO Miller, S Isojunno, E Siegal… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
As human activities impact virtually every animal habitat on the planet, identifying species at-
risk from disturbance is a priority. Cetaceans are an example taxon where responsiveness to …

Vessel noise levels drive behavioural responses of humpback whales with implications for whale-watching
Disturbance from whale-watching can cause significant behavioural changes with fitness
consequences for targeted whale populations. However, the sensory stimuli triggering these …

Seasonal gain in body condition of foraging humpback whales along the Western Antarctic Peninsula
Most baleen whales are capital breeders that use stored energy acquired on foraging
grounds to finance the costs of migration and reproduction on breeding grounds. Body …

[图书][B] Animal ethics in the wild: Wild animal suffering and intervention in nature
C Faria - 2022 - books.google.com
Animals, like humans, suffer and die from natural causes. This is particularly true of animals

Killer whale presence drives bowhead whale selection for sea ice in Arctic seascapes of fear
CJD Matthews, GA Breed, B LeBlanc… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
The effects of predator intimidation on habitat use and behavior of prey species are rarely
quantified for large marine vertebrates over ecologically relevant scales. Using state space …

Low energy expenditure and resting behaviour of humpback whale mother-calf pairs highlights conservation importance of sheltered breeding areas
Understanding the behaviour of humpback whale mother-calf pairs and the acoustic
environment on their breeding grounds is fundamental to assessing the biological and …

High suckling rates and acoustic crypsis of humpback whale neonates maximise potential for mother–calf energy transfer
The migration of humpback whales to and from their breeding grounds results in a short,
critical time period during which neonatal calves must acquire sufficient energy via suckling …
