• Health of North Atlantic right whales Eubalaena glacialis over three decades: from individual health to demographic and population health trends (2016, background): “Additionally, the prevalence and appearance of skin lesions has been related to both infectious disease organisms and environmental factors (Van Bressem & Van Waerebeek 1996, Wilson et al. 2000, Kiszka et al. 2009, Hart et al. 2012).”
• Noninvasive unmanned aerial vehicle provides estimates of the energetic cost of reproduction in humpback whales (2016, background): “The strong relationship between energy storage and reproduction in baleen whales (Lockyer 1987a, Williams et al. 2013, Christiansen et al. 2014) makes it possible to estimate the energetic costs of reproduction by investigating the rate of decline in the body condition of a population throughout…”
