North Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica) seasonal and diel calling patterns from long-term acoustic recordings in the southeastern Bering Sea, 2000-2006 (2008, background): “…whereas tens to hundreds of thousands of calls were detected in a single migration season(s) for bowhead whales in the western Arctic (Clark et al. 1996), blue and fin whales in the Antarctic (Širović et al. 2004), and blue whales offshore California (Wiggins et al. 2005, Oleson et al. 2007).”
Optimal foraging theory predicts diving and feeding strategies of the largest marine predator (2011, background): “They track the diel vertical migrations of euphausiids between the surface and deeper water layers (Fiedler et al. 1998; Calambokidis et al. 2007; Oleson et al. 2007), making it possible to study the time allocated to foraging over a large range of target depths.”
Insights into the Underwater Diving, Feeding, and Calling Behavior of Blue Whales from a Suction-Cup-Attached Video-Imaging Tag (CRITTERCAM) (2007, unknown): “…blue whales using a larger dataset of deployments of three types of tags as well as visual and acoustic tracking of blue whales has indicated that apparently only males produce the long repeated broadcast calls (singing) characteristic of this species (Oleson et al., 2007a; McDonald et al., 2001).”
