A simulation study of the effect of target motion on sighting estimates of minke whale population density
… generate sighting data resembling real data from minke whale sighting surveys. The procedure currently used to calculate a corrected negative exponential density estimate from sighting data is duplicated using simulated data. The resulting estimates are compared to the true population density …

The auditory system of the minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) : a potential fatty sound reception pathway in a mysticete cetacean
… the effects of anthropogenic noise on baleen whales (suborder Mysticeti), we lack basic information about their auditory physiology for comprehensive risk assessments. Hearing ranges and sensitivities could be measured if customized equipment and methods were developed based on how baleen …

The foraging ecology of minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in Northeast Scottish waters using stable isotope analysis
… change and assessing its key drivers. Baleen whales, as mid-trophic level predators, are indicator species that reflect pressure-driven changes at both higher and lower trophic levels. As such, understanding their foraging ecology is critical to informing effective conservation and management …

Uma aborgagem biogeográfica dos cetáceos da costa brasileira
… dolphin (Stenella frontalis) and the killer whale (Orcinus orca) as well as whales (Bryde's, Balaenoptera edeni and dwarf minke whale B. acutorostrata). ln contrast, such species are lacking along the coastal waters of the northeastern coast, indicating the oligotrophic structure of these …

The importance of sandeel (Ammodytes marinus) for minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) and white-beaked dolphins (Lagenorhynchus albirostris) in Faxaflói Bay, Iceland
… been noted as important feeding grounds for both minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) and white-beaked dolphins (Lagenorhynchus albirostris). These two cetacean species are both known to prey on lesser sandeels (Ammodytes marinus), a high-energy prey, which are found in high density in …

Modelling the krill-predator dynamics of the Antarctic ecosystem
… Antarctic, it is evident that among the baleen whales, blue, fin, humpback and minke whales feed mainly on krill, and could collectively be consuming up to 120 million tons of krill in this region for each of the years around 1990. Of the seals, the Antarctic fur seals and crab-eater seals also …
