• Scaling of lunge‐feeding performance in rorqual whales: mass‐specific energy expenditure increases with body size and progressively limits diving capacity (2012, background): “…(for deep dives directed at krill) to apply to rorquals foraging on fish aggregations or at shallow depths (Stimpert et al. 2007; Alves et al. 2009; Friedlaender et al. 2009; Hazen et al. 2009; Ware, Friedlaender & Nowacek 2010), rorquals of different size may be more effective at exploiting…”
• Underwater components of humpback whale bubble-net feeding behaviour (2011, background): “In particular, their tendency to school near the surface during daylight hours, often in ‘chimney-like’ vertical columns, enables efficient feeding by predatory humpback whales (Hain et al., 1982; Friedlaender et al., 2009; Hazen et al., 2009).”
• Humpback whale song occurs extensively on feeding grounds in the western North Atlantic Ocean (2012, background): “This increase in humpback whale abundance reflects their use of SBNMS to forage on sand lance Ammodytes spp. as their primary prey (e.g. Hain et al. 1982, Payne et al. 1990, Clapham et al. 1993, Friedlaender et al. 2009, Hazen et al. 2009).”
• Fine-scale prey aggregations and foraging ecology of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae (2009, background): “Deep-feeding whales often target prey horizontally distributed in the middle of the water column (e.g. Witteveen et al. 2008) or buried in the substrate (e.g. Hain et al. 1995, Friedlaender et al. 2009, this Theme Section).”
• Integrative Approaches to the Study of Baleen Whale Diving Behavior, Feeding Performance, and Foraging Ecology (2013, background): “These data have not only drama tically increased our understanding of whale feeding behavior but have also increased our knowledge of how foraging performance relates to broader ecological and evolutionary processes (Friedlaender et al. 2009, Goldbogen et al. 2012, Potvin et al. 2012).”
• Prey density and distribution drive the three‐dimensional foraging strategies of the largest filter feeder (2015, methodology): “…all the ror- qual species, humpback whales exhibit the most flexible of these foraging strategies, from bottom side-roll and deep feeding to bubble-net and near-surface feeding (Friedla- ender et al. 2009; Hazen et al. 2009; Ware, Friedlaender & Nowacek 2011; Wiley et al. 2011; Ware et al. 2014).”
• Extreme diel variation in the feeding behavior of humpback whales along the western Antarctic Peninsula during autumn (2013, background): “…has allowed researchers the op portunity to better understand the kinematics and energetic costs associated with this unique feeding strategy and test ecological hypotheses relating to predator–prey interactions (e.g. Goldbogen et al. 2008, 2011, Friedlaender et al. 2009, Hazen et al. 2009).”
