Diving Behaviour of Cuvier’s Beaked Whales (Ziphius cavirostris) off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina

Cuvier’s beaked whales exhibit exceptionally long and deep foraging dives. The species is little studied due to their deepwater, offshore distribution and

Kinematics of Diving and Lunge-Feeding in Fin Whales

Fin whales are among the largest predators on earth, yet little is known about their foraging behavior at depth. These

Foraging Behavior of Humpback Whales: Kinematic and Respiratory Patterns Suggest a High Cost for a Lunge

Lunge feeding in rorqual whales is a drag-based feeding mechanism that is thought to entail a high energetic cost and

Scaling of Lunge-Feeding Performance in Rorqual Whales: Mass-Specific Energy Expenditure Increases with Body Size and Progressively Limits Diving Capacity

1. Diving capacity generally increases with body size both within and among taxanomic groups because of the differential scaling between

Mechanics, Hydrodynamics and Energetics of Blue Whale Lunge Feeding: Efficiency Dependence on Krill Density

Lunge feeding by rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) is associated with a high energetic cost that decreases diving capacity, thereby limiting access
