Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematics of foraging dives and lunge-feeding in fin whales
Jeremy A. Goldbogen,Jeremy A. Goldbogen,John Calambokidis,Robert E. Shadwick,Erin M. Oleson,Mark A. McDonald,John A. Hildebrand +6 more
TL;DR: Examination of body kinematics at depth reveals variable lunge-feeding behavior in the context of distinct kinematic modes, which exhibit temporal coordination of rotational torques with translational accelerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral context of call production by eastern North Pacific blue whales
Erin M. Oleson,John Calambokidis,William C. Burgess,Mark A. McDonald,Carrie A. LeDuc,John A. Hildebrand +5 more
TL;DR: The relationship between calling and depth may predict the traveling behavior of singing blue whales, as traveling whales do not typically dive to deep depths and therefore would experience little extra energetic cost related to the production of long repetitive song bouts while moving between foraging areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics, hydrodynamics and energetics of blue whale lunge feeding: efficiency dependence on krill density
Jeremy A. Goldbogen,John Calambokidis,Erin M. Oleson,Jean Potvin,Nicholas D. Pyenson,Gregory S. Schorr,Robert E. Shadwick +6 more
TL;DR: The analysis of kinematic data from digital tags with unsteady hydrodynamic models suggests that foraging efficiency for blue whales is significantly higher than for other marine mammals by nearly an order of magnitude, but only if lunges target extremely high densities of krill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foraging behavior of humpback whales: kinematic and respiratory patterns suggest a high cost for a lunge.
Jeremy A. Goldbogen,John Calambokidis,Donald A. Croll,James T. Harvey,Kelly Newton,Erin M. Oleson,Greg Schorr,Robert E. Shadwick +7 more
TL;DR: High-resolution digital tags on foraging humpback whales used to determine the number of lunges executed per dive as well as respiratory frequency between dives suggest that the high energetic cost associated with lunge feeding in blue and fin whales also occurs in intermediate sized rorquals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal separation of blue whale call types on a southern California feeding ground
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the occurrence of three blue whale call types (singular B, song B, singular B and D) recorded between 2000 and 2004 at Cortez and Tanner Banks, a summer feeding area offshore of southern California.
