We focused on two cetacean species in Disko Bay, West Greenland and asked the following questions: (1) What is the spatial and temporal overlap between bowhead whales, phytoplankton, and zooplankton after the spring sea ice breakup in April and May? , and (2) What is the spatial and temporal overlap between humpback whales and capelin in June and July, and (3) on what space and time scales do these two ...
The primary goal of this study is to examine and contrast the foraging strategies of two baleen whale species in West Greenland. We use a multidisciplinary approach by combining observations of movements, foraging ecology and phenology collected by satellite and archival telemetry with intensive and localized in situ sampling of ocean conditions and prey availability. These baseline trophic relationships are quantified using spatial movement and bioenergetic models. OBJECTIVES We are ...
