Humpback whales use memory and ocean cues to guide migration, but climate change may disrupt this strategy, warns researchers ...

Climate change is also driving penguins to colonize new areas, or to stay in regions longer than they normally would, ...

A new study led by McGill University researchers indicates that humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific combine real-time ...

The bountiful creatures sequester carbon and are a vital food source for marine predators, but their future is uncertain ...

A new study has found that whale songs can act as a barometer for the effects of climate change on ocean ecosystems.

The study suggests that even the faintest hint of penguin droppings in the water is enough to prompt krill into escape ...

They further compared data collected by NOAA in its long-standing survey of whales' prey including krill and anchovies in order to see how the rate of whale song is related to their prey numbers.

Given the range of predators that regularly feed on krill, the team theorizes they likely exhibit similar behavior in the presence of seals, whales, and other Antarctic predators. As climate ...
