- Linking Behavior to Vital Rates to Measure the Effects of Non‐Lethal Disturbance on Wildlife (2015, methodology): “We used blubber storage as a proxy for body condition, as blubber provides a good measure of energy balance of mysticetes (Miller et al. 2011; Christiansen et al. 2013b).”
- Evidence for density-dependent changes in body condition and pregnancy rate of North Atlantic fin whales over four decades of varying environmental conditions (2013, background): “Many of the individual components of this suite of factors have been examined previously, e.g. by Lockyer (1986), and Miller et al. (2011).”
- Health of North Atlantic right whales Eubalaena glacialis over three decades: from individual health to demographic and population health trends (2016, methodology): “Rolland et al.: Right whale health trends mated health scores were in resting and lactating females, reflecting normal loss of body condition due to the high energetic demands of lactation in right whales (Miller et al. 2011, Miller et al. 2012, Fortune et al. 2013).”
- Body shape changes associated with reproductive status, nutritive condition and growth in right whales Eubalaena glacialis and E. australis (2012, background): “Corresponding to the significant thinning of body shape observed here, blubber thickness de - creased significantly during the initial months of lactation in E. australis found off the coast of South Africa (Miller et al. 2011), which suggests that changes to blubber thickness arising from blubber l”
