DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0485
Abstract: Mammals with dependent young often rely on cryptic behaviour to avoid detection by potential predators. In the mysticetes, large baleen whales, young calves are known to be vulnerable to direct predation from both shark and… read more here.

From the southern right whale hunting decline to the humpback whaling expansion: a review of whale catch records in the tropical western South Atlantic Ocean
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Mammal Review"
DOI: 10.1111/mam.12073
Abstract: Historical catch records from whaling activity are crucial for assessments of whale populations. However, several gaps in the exploitation history for many populations from before the twentieth century create limitations that may lead to overestimates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0207524
Abstract: Since the 1980s, the distribution range of the southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) in Argentina was mostly located in the winter calving grounds around Península Valdés. After the international moratorium that forbade the commercial hunting,… read more here.
