Trends in the Abundance of Humpback Whales in the North Pacific Ocean from 1980 to 2006

We examine long terms trends in abundance of humpback whales in the North Pacific overall and in specific regions based

Sighting and environmental characteristics of humpback whale breeding habitat off Pacific Central America: comparison of Northern and Southern Hemisphere populations

Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) populations worldwide have been recovering from whaling, albeit at different rates. A recent global review of

Updated analysis of abundance and population structure of seasonal gray whales in the Pacific Northwest, 1996-2015

We update the results of a 20-year (1996-2015) collaborative study examining the abundance and the population structure of these animals

Sightings and follow-up of mothers and calves in the PCFG and implications for internal recruitment

We document the occurrence of mothers and calves in the PCFG area over a more than 20-year period. Over the

Using Digital Tags with Integrated Video and Inertial Sensors to Study Moving Morphology and Associated Function in Large Aquatic Vertebrates

The anatomy of large cetaceans has been well documented, mostly through dissection of dead specimens. However, the difficulty of studying
