Southern Hemisphere humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) were heavily targeted
during modern commercial whaling operations, with some 216,000 individuals killed …

The cosmopolitan distribution of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) is largely
driven by migrations between winter low-latitude breeding grounds and summer high …

We investigated the predator–prey relationship between baleen whales and killer whales by
observing predatory scarring (rake marks) on the tail flukes of three mysticete species from …

Abstract Tourism Climate Indices (TCIs) are the most widely used method to quantify climate
suitability for tourism, yet remain more extensively applied in the Global North. Here we …

Elucidating patterns of population structure for species with complex life histories, and
disentangling the processes driving such patterns, remains a significant analytical …

Aim Species distribution modelling is a useful tool for determining important habitats. By
accounting for specific animal behaviour in the model, it is possible to identify finer‐scale …

Maternal habitat preferences of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are well
documented from decades of coastal research but oceanic areas have received less …

Knowledge of the occurrence and distribution of cetaceans is particularly important for
conservation and management, but is still limited within Namibian waters. We collated 3211 …

Effective conservation management requires information on wildlife abundance and
distribution. Platforms of opportunity, including whale-watching vessels (WWV), can provide …

The eastern Atlantic Ocean is considered to provide important breeding and wintering
habitats for several migratory cetacean species. The spatio-temporal distributions and …
