DOI: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2019.104606
Abstract: For most cetacean species, there is little known about how an individual's physiology influences its behaviour. Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a good candidate to examine such links as they have a well-described distribution and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/mf21065
Abstract: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) require a suite of essential habitats during their long migration. Therefore, the identification of critical habitats is important for continuation of their successful recovery. In this study we investigated the behaviours… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/pc19003
Abstract: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the western North Pacific breed in the Philippines and Japan, where there is relatively little scientific data available, leading to uncertainty about their population status and structure. This study investigates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icac070
Abstract: Understanding reproductive physiology in mysticetes has been slowed by the lack of repeated samples from individuals. Analysis of humpback whale baleen enables retrospective hormone analysis within individuals dating back three to five years before death.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/brv.12309
Abstract: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are seasonal breeders, annually migrating from high‐latitude summer feeding grounds to low‐latitude winter breeding grounds. The social matrix on the winter grounds is a loose network of interacting individuals and groups… read more here.
