• Segregation of Beaufort Sea beluga whales during the open-water season (2006, unknown): “Formation of subadult male social groups occurs in northern bottlenose whales and some bottlenose dolphins (Smolker et al. 1992; Gowans et al. 2001 ), and in sperm whales subadult males form loose associations or remain solitary (Christal et al. 1998).”
