Understanding the residency and movement patterns of large cetaceans like the humpback whale is crucial for effective conservation.

This collective effort has contributed to the creation of the Irish Humpback Whale Photo‐identification Catalogue. Using this dataset, we assessed humpback whal...

Animal morphometrics are essential for understanding a species’ life history and its ecological interactions with the environment. This study investigates the maturity status and body condition of humpback whales ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) across understudied areas of the Northeastern Atlantic Ocean. Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS or drones) were used to collect photogrammetry data from humpback whales in Ireland, Norway, and Ca...
