Abstract

This article discusses a study on humpback whale vocalizations in a mid-latitude, winter feeding ground in Virginia. The researchers were unable to determine the sex of the whale, but they found that it vocalized for a significant amount of time, producing 11 distinct call types. They also identified patterns and themes in the whale's vocalizations, suggesting the presence of song fragments. The researchers hypothesize that the tagged whale was a juvenile male practicing singing behavior. The article also highlights the threat of vessel strikes to humpback whales, particularly in the U.S. Atlantic Coast, where ship traffic is increased. The researchers suggest that the whale's passive, head-down orientation during vocalizations may increase its vulnerability to ship strikes. Overall, this study contributes to our understanding of humpback whale behavior and the risks they face in their feeding grounds. [Extracted from the article]
