    Behavioural responses of humpback whales to food-related chemical stimuli 
    Bouchard, Bertrand; Barnagaud, Jean-Yves; Poupard, Marion; Glotin, Hervé; Gauffier, Pauline; Torres Ortiz, Sara; Lisney, Thomas J.; Campagna, Sylvie; Rasmussen, Marianne; Célérier, Aurélie (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-02-26)
    Baleen whales face the challenge of finding patchily distributed food in the open ocean. Their relatively well-developed olfactory structures suggest that they could identify the specific odours given off by planktonic prey such as krill aggregations. ...

    Complete Inactivation of Sebum-Producing Genes Parallels the Loss of Sebaceous Glands in Cetacea 
    Lopes-Marques, Mónica; Machado, André M; Alves, Luís Q; Fonseca, Miguel M; Barbosa, Susana; Sinding, Mikkel-Holger S; Rasmussen, Marianne; Iversen, Maria Refsgaard; Frost Bertelsen, Mads; Campos, Paula F; da Fonseca, Rute; Ruivo, Raquel; Castro, L Filipe C (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-03-20)
    Genomes are dynamic biological units, with processes of gene duplication and loss triggering evolutionary novelty. The mammalian skin provides a remarkable case study on the occurrence of adaptive morphological innovations. Skin sebaceous glands (SGs), ...

    First estimates of entanglement rate of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae observed in coastal Icelandic waters 
    Basran, CJ; Bertulli, CG; Cecchetti, A; Rasmussen, Marianne; Whittaker, M; Robbins, J (Inter-Research Science Center, 2019-02-07)
    Entanglement in fishing gear is a significant anthropogenic source of large whale injury and mortality. Although entanglements have been reported in the eastern North Atlantic, their frequency has not been previously estimated. This study used systematic ...

    Leave or stay? Video-logger revealed foraging efficiency of humpback whales under temporal change in prey density 
    Akiyama, Yu; Akamatsu, Tomonari; Rasmussen, Marianne; Iversen, Maria R.; Iwata, Takashi; Goto, Yusuke; Aoki, Kagari; Sato, Katsufumi (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-02-05)
    Central place foraging theory (CPF) has been used to predict the optimal patch residence time for air-breathing marine predators in response to patch quality. Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) forage on densely aggregated prey, which may induce ...

    A Migratory Divide Among Red-Necked Phalaropes in the Western Palearctic Reveals Contrasting Migration and Wintering Movement Strategies 
    van Bemmelen, Rob S. A.; Kolbeinsson, Yann; Ramos, Raül; Gilg, Olivier; Alves, Jose; Smith, Malcolm; Schekkerman, Hans; Lehikoinen, Aleksi; Petersen, Ib Krag; Þórisson, Böðvar; Sokolov, Aleksandr A.; Välimäki, Kaisa; van der Meer, Tim; Okill, J. David; Bolton, Mark; Moe, Børge; Hanssen, Sveinn Are; Bollache, Loïc; Petersen, Aevar; Thorstensen, Sverrir; González-Solís, Jacob; Klaassen, Raymond H. G.; Tulp, Ingrid (Frontiers Media SA, 2019-04-04)
    Non-breeding movement strategies of migratory birds may be expected to be flexibly adjusted to the distribution and quality of habitat, but few studies compare movement strategies among populations using distinct migration routes and wintering areas. ...

    Prey of killer whales (Orcinus orca) in Iceland 
    Samarra, Filipa; Bassoi, Manuela; Béesau, Julie; Elíasdóttir, Margrét Ó.; Gunnarsson, Karl; Mrusczok, Marie-Thérèse; Rasmussen, Marianne; Rempel, Jonathan N.; Þorvaldsson, Baldur; Víkingsson, Gísli (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-12-12)
    Killer whales have a cosmopolitan distribution and as a species are generalists, feeding on a variety of prey. However, local populations tend to specialise on specific prey types. In Icelandic waters, killer whales are generally associated with herring ...

    Subarctic singers: Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) song structure and progression from an Icelandic feeding ground during winter 
    Magnúsdóttir, Edda; Lim, Rangyn (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-01-23)
    Humpback whale songs associated with breeding behaviors are increasingly reported outside of traditional low latitude breeding grounds. Songs from a subarctic feeding ground during the winter were quantitatively characterized to investigate the structure ...
