• Past and present distribution, densities and movements of blue whales Balaenoptera musculus in the Southern Hemisphere and northern Indian Ocean (2007, methodology): “…by whaling (Branch & Butterworth, 2001b; Branch et al., 2004); (ii) an estimated >90% of sexually mature females caught were Antarctic blue whales (Branch et al., 2007); and (iii) a detailed study found that they were morphologically similar to Antarctic blue whales caught at South Georgia…”
• Status of the world's baleen whales (2016, background): “Branch et al. (2007b) proposed, and the Committee on Taxonomy (2015) accepted, that the blue whales off Chile and probably Peru constitute an unnamed subspecies.”
