How Baleen Whales Feed: The Biomechanics of Engulfment and Filtration
Baleen whales are gigantic obligate filter feeders that exploit aggregations of small-bodied prey in littoral, epipelagic, and mesopelagic ecosystems. At

Lunge feeding in rorqual whales is a drag-based feeding mechanism that is thought to entail a high energetic cost and
Whale flukeprints are an often observed, but poorly understood, phenomenon. Used bywhale researchers to locate whales, flukeprints refer to a

Low-frequency acoustic signals generated by baleen whales can propagate over vast distances, making the assignment of calls to specific individuals
