Kinematic Diversity in Rorqual Whale Feeding Mechanisms
Rorqual whales exhibit an extreme lunge filter-feeding strategy characterized by acceleration to high speed and engulfment of a large volume
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
