Diel and Lunar Variation in Diving Behavior of Rough-Toothed Dolphins (Steno bredanensis) off Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi

Observational studies describe rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis) actively foraging during the day on epipelagic species. Using data from depth-transmitting satellite

Behavioral Context of Call Production by Eastern North Pacific Blue Whales

We assessed the behavioral context of calls produced by blue whales Balaenoptera musculus off the California coast based on acoustic,

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

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

Underwater Acrobatics by the World’s Largest Predator: 360° Rolling Maneuvers by Lunge Feeding Blue Whales

The extreme body size of blue whales requires a high energy intake and therefore demands efficient foraging strategies. As an

Blue Whales Respond to Simulated Mid-Frequency Military Sonar

Mid-frequency military (1–10 kHz) sonars have been associated with lethal mass strandings of deep-diving toothed whales, but the effects on
