Towards the definition of the humpback whale population units along the Mexican and Central American coasts in the Pacific Ocean

Pamela Martinez-Loustalot et al.

Summary: The SPLASH project revealed complex population structure and migratory connections, but research along the southern Mexican Pacific coast was not initiated until 2010. The study aimed to establish the relationship between humpback whales of southern Mexico and surrounding population units. Comparisons of photo-identification images from multiple locations suggested that whales from southern Mexico belong to the Central American population unit.

Humpback whale abundance in Hawai'i: Temporal trends and response to climatic drivers

Adam S. Frankel et al.

Summary: The study found that the number and birth rate of humpback whales in Hawaii decreased when water temperatures in high latitude feeding grounds in the North Pacific rose. Long-term monitoring of whale populations is crucial for understanding how marine ecosystems respond to global climate change.

High-Resolution Projections of Global Sea Surface Temperatures Reveal Critical Warming in Humpback Whale Breeding Grounds

Hannah von Hammerstein et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are causing global climate change and ocean warming, which will impact marine organisms, especially those with high site fidelity and habitat temperature preferences, such as humpback whales on their breeding grounds. Large-scale projections of climatic variables are crucial to study the effects of warming ocean on marine organisms. Global models are not ideal for predicting localized changes, so providing high-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) projections is important for preserving the ecological integrity of humpback whale breeding areas.

Male Humpback Whale Chorusing in Hawai'i and Its Relationship With Whale Abundance and Density

Anke Kuegler et al.

Summary: Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is an effective tool for studying humpback whale ecology and population trends, as it accurately tracks whale abundance through singing behavior. There is a strong correlation between sound pressure levels and whale abundance, demonstrated through a combination of visual and acoustic data. PAM proves to be a relatively low-cost, robust method for studying and monitoring humpback whales in their breeding grounds.
