Bottom-feeding gray whales Eschrichtius robustus demonstrate a finer scale of site fidelity than pelagic-feeding humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae on an Arctic feeding ground
In zooplankton-feeding baleen whales, site fidelity on the feeding grounds is usually expressed at a relatively large scale: although the whales...
