Kinematics of foraging dives and lunge-feeding in fin whales

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

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

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.

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.
