Body shape changes associated with reproductive status, nutritive condition and growth in right whales Eubalaena glacialis and E. australis (2012, background): “However, (1) Eubalaena glacialis calves appear to be feeding on zooplankton prey at approximately 8 mo (Baumgartner & Mate 2003), and attempts at skim-feeding have been observed as early as 6 mo of age in E. australis (Best 2007), and (2) right whale mothers resume feeding midway through lactation;…”
Zooplankton species composition, abundance and biomass on the eastern Bering Sea shelf during summer: The potential role of water-column stability and nutrients in structuring the zooplankton community (2008, background): “m 3 in very thin layers to meet daily energy requirements (Kenney et al., 1986; Baumgartner and Mate, 2003).”
Blue whale habitat selection and within-season distribution in a regional upwelling system off southern Australia (2011, background): “The oceanographic context underlying such movements is often unknown, 259 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 421: 243–263, 2011 but in a rare example, Benson et al. (2001) explained how a drop in euphausiid density due to a warm water intrusion into Monterey Bay, California, in 1999 probably caused blue whales to…”
Studying the behaviour and sensory ecology of marine mammals using acoustic recording tags: a review (2009, background): “Information about migratory movements, diving physiology and foraging (Kooyman 1972, McConnell & Fedak 1996, Hindell & Lea 1998, Baumgartner & Mate 2003, Baird et al. 2005) has been gathered using tags that simply record the depth of the animal or transmit its position.”
An Overview of Fixed Passive Acoustic Observation Methods for Cetaceans (2007, background): “Cetaceans are increasingly being included as top trophic-level predators in models of ecosystem dynamics (Baumgartner and Mate, 2003; Tynan, 2004; Redfern et al., 2006).”
Blubber thickness in right whales Eubalaena glacialis and Eubalaena australis related with reproduction, life history status and prey abundance (2011, background): “Both species feed on lipid-rich, late stage calanoid copepods (Kenney et al. 1986, Tormosov et al. 1998, Baumgartner & Mate 2003, Michaud & Taggart 2007); southern right whales also feed on euphausiids (Hamner et al. 1988, Tormosov et al. 1998, Reeb 2001).”
Techniques for cetacean-habitat modeling (2006, background): “…previous speculation (Gaskin 1987), descriptive studies (Murison & Gaskin 1989, Woodley & Gaskin 1996), and studies of individual foraging ecology (Baumgartner & Mate 2003) to develop hypotheses about the habitat variables that influence the summertime distribution of North Atlantic right whales…”
Associations between North Atlantic right whales and their prey, Calanus finmarchicus, over diel and tidal time scales (2003, methodology): “Right whale daytime abundance was correlated with OPC-detected Calanus finmarchicus C5 abundance at mid-depths (90 to 140 m) and Baumgartner & Mate (2003) demonstrated that tagged right whales in the 163 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 264: 155–166, 2003 lower Bay of Fundy concentrated their foraging effort on…”
