Understanding relationships between physical drivers and biological response is central to
advancing ecological knowledge. Wind is the physical forcing mechanism in coastal …

Southern hemisphere blue (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) and fin (Balaenoptera
physalus) whales are the largest predators in the Southern Ocean, with similarities in …

Resources in the ocean are ephemeral, and effective management must therefore account
for the dynamic spatial and temporal patterns of ecosystems and species of concern. We …

Since 2012, we have investigated a newly documented group of blue whales (Balaenoptera

During three surveys in the austral summers of 2013, 2015, 2019, data on Antarctic blue
whale blow rates, dive times, swim speeds, and broadscale movements were collected …

Blue whales are infrequently reported from New Zealand and their taxonomic status is
unclear. Here we present new information on the residency, external morphology, and …

Photo‐identifications of Antarctic blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) collected
from 2003/2004 to 2018/2019 were used in a capture–recapture analysis to estimate …

To properly conserve and manage wild populations, it is important to have information on
abundance and population dynamics. In the case of rare and cryptic species, especially in …

Abstract The International Whaling Commission (IWC) carried out blue whale research
within its annual Southern Ocean Whale and Ecosystem Research (SOWER) cruises …

The song of Antarctic blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) comprises repeated,
