Fine-scale prey aggregations and foraging ecology of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae (2009, background): “For humpback whales, both the type of prey and its relative abundance over time contribute to habitat selection in the western North Atlantic (Whitehead & Carscadden 1985, Payne et al. 1986, 1990, Weinrich et al. 1997, Stevick et al. 2006, 2008).”
US Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico marine mammal stock assessments - 2015 (2016, background): “These six regions represent relatively discrete subpopulations, fidelity to which is determined matrilineally (Clapham and Mayo 1987), which is supported by studies of the mitochondrial genome (Palsbøll et al. 1995; Palsbøll et al. 2001) and individual animal movements (Stevick et al. 2006).”
Local and migratory movements of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) satellite-tracked in the North Atlantic Ocean (2014, unknown): “Lawrence), West Greenland, Iceland, and the Barents Sea, where they forage from spring through autumn (IWC 2002; Stevick et al. 2006).”
