Juha the Whale
Juha the Whale is a short coming-of-age fiction film that explores the isolation a refugee mother and her young daughter face as they await the status of their claimant hearing in Toronto, Canada. Najah (45) and her daughter Noor (8), spend the days leading up to their hearing in cramped refugee …

Wavelet Scattering Transforms Applied to Whale Vocalisations
… application of wavelet scattering transforms to whale vocalisations. We first consider how wavelet transforms can provide an alternative time-frequency decomposition for use in signal detectors. Detectors typically utilise the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), for which the continuous wavelet …

The Southern Whale Fishery Company, Auckland Islands
The Southern Whale Fishery Company was a colonising whaling company, with a Royal Charter granted in early 1849. The Company was set up as an attempt to re~establish the declining British Southern Whale Fishery, and was actively promoted by Charles Enderby. The Company was formed after The Messrs. …

NEO-ZOOMORPHIC ARCHITECTURE: The Decaying Whale Pavilion
… and drawing inspiration from the phenomenon of a whale fall. It borrows from the external form of whales and their internal life cycle patterns to design a pavilion at the boundary of Pandapas Pond wetland and forest. The whale's skeleton becomes the main wooden structure, and the decaying flesh …

Biomechanics of North Atlantic right whale bone : mandibular fracture as a fatal endpoint for blunt vessel-whale collision modeling
The North Atlantic right whale, Eubalaena glacialis, one of the most critically endangered whales in the world, is subject to high anthropogenic mortality. Vessel-whale collisions and entanglement in fishing gear were indicated in 27 (67.5%) of the 40 right whales necropsied between 1970 and …

Acoustic communication in the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis)
… for communication by the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis). The surface active group (SAG) is the predominant social interaction in this species for which use of sound has been documented. Different group compositions in SAGs indicate that both potentially reproductive and …

Characterization of the Whale Shark (Rhincodon Typus) Melanocortin-2 Receptor
… another cartilaginous fish genome, that of the whale shark (<em>Rhincodon typus</em>), provided the opportunity for classification of another cartilaginous fish MC2R ortholog. This new information allowed for the possibility of more thoroughly determining the phylogeny of MC2R traits in …

Conformational relaxation and kinetic hole-burning in sperm whale myoglobin
… is a result of kinetic hole-burning. In sperm whale Mb the band width decreases by about 2% and the peak shift is about 7.5% of the total width after 50% of all ligands have rebound. The data are consistent with a small inhomogeneous broadening. The underlying homogeneous width is approximately …

Genetic analysis of the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) using microsatellites.
The sperm whale is the largest of the toothed whales (Odontoceti), and inhabits deep waters from equatorial to Polar Regions. Sperm whales are social and commonly l r . found in small groups. However, sociality varies according to sex and age. Immature males form bachelor groups that disperse as …

The choreography of belonging : toothed whale spatial cohesion and acoustic communication
… are the most extensively studied toothed whale, but research on acoustic behavior has been limited by an inability to identify the vocalizing individual or measure inter-animal distances in the wild. This thesis resolves these problems by simultaneously deploying acoustic tags on …

Sexual segregation and abundance trend of whale sharks in southern Mozambique
Coastal aggregations of endangered whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) consist mainly of juveniles, and most have a strong male bias. Generalised additive models were constructed on a 15-year dataset (2005–2019), from Praia do Tofo, Mozambique, to investigate sexual segregation in relation to …

Genetic Dispersal Patterns in Cetaceans: The Development of Dolphin, Whale, and Porpoise Subpopulations
Population genetics is the study of allelic distributions and frequency changes in populations. It has been used to assess dispersal patterns within cetaceans. A literature review was conducted on dispersal patterns and population genetics to determine dispersal patterns such as sex-biased …
