Abstract: Antarctic minke whales Balaenoptera bonaerensis are rorquals that migrate to Antarctic waters to forage during the austral summer. Because the species frequents the edges of ice packs in summer, the potential impact of long-term physical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.211557
Abstract: Acoustic signalling is the predominant form of communication among cetaceans. Understanding the behavioural state of calling individuals can provide insights into the specific function of sound production; in turn, this information can aid the evaluation… read more here.
