Integrative Approaches to the Study of Baleen Whale Diving Behavior, Feeding Performance, and Foraging Ecology (2013, background): “…variety of sensor modalities, ranging from high-resolution behavior loggers (Nowacek et al. 2001, Miller et al. 2004, Goldbogen et al. 2006, Simon et al. 2009) to satellite-linked tags that provide tracking data over large spatial and temporal scales (Bailey et al. 2009, Durban and Pitman 2011).”
Prey density and distribution drive the three‐dimensional foraging strategies of the largest filter feeder (2015, background): “Recent research has revealed a wide range of dynamic foraging strategies in several of the largest rorqual species including blue, fin and humpback whales (Friedlaender et al. 2009; Doniol-Valcroze et al. 2011; Wiley et al. 2011; Simon, Johnson & Madsen 2012; Goldbogen et al. 2013a; Kot et al. 2014;”
Extreme diel variation in the feeding behavior of humpback whales along the western Antarctic Peninsula during autumn (2013, background): “The majority of shallow (<50 m) feeding dives in our study included a single lunge, a strategy that is thought to increase efficiency by allowing the whale to remain close to the surface, reducing the energetic costs of diving (Kramer 1988, Carbone & Houston 1996, Doniol-Valcroze et al. 2011).”
