A surplus no more? Variation in krill availability impacts reproductive rates of Antarctic baleen whales
The krill surplus hypothesis of unlimited prey resources available for Antarctic predators due
to commercial whaling in the 20th century has remained largely untested since the 1970s …

Modelling the spatial distribution of cetaceans in New Zealand waters
F Stephenson, K Goetz, BR Sharp… - Diversity and …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Cetaceans are inherently difficult to study due to their elusive, pelagic and often highly
migratory nature. New Zealand waters are home to 50% of the world's cetacean species, but …

First evidence of bubble‐net feeding and the formation of 'super‐groups' by the east Australian population of humpback whales during their southward migration
The recovery of overexploited populations is likely to reveal behaviours that may have been
present prior to harvest but are only now reappearing as the population size increases. The …
