Using long-term passive acoustic monitoring to examine blue whale migration in a changing world ...
Blue whales, like many other baleen whale species, are threatened by anthropogenic activities and climate change. In the previous century, blue whales were hunted to the brink of extinction and their numbers remain at a fraction of their original population. Studying blue whales can be difficult due...

Blue whales, like many other baleen whale species, are threatened by anthropogenic activities and climate change.

However long-term studies can be logistically difficult and financially costly. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides a cost-effective and non-invasive way for collecting long-term data on vocal species.
