Seasonal gain in body condition of foraging humpback whales along the Western Antarctic Peninsula

Seasonal gain in body condition of foraging humpback whales along the Western Antarctic Peninsula

Most baleen whales are capital breeders that use stored energy acquired on foraging grounds to finance the costs of migration and reproduction on breeding grounds. Body condition reflects past foraging success and can act as a proxy for individual fitness. Hence, monitoring the seasonal gain in body...
