In a remarkable discovery, researchers led by Ekaterina Kalashnikova from BCSS have documented the longest recorded migration of a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), an adult male that traversed an astonishing 13,046 km between breeding grounds in the eastern Pacific and the southwest Indian Ocean, with potential travel extending up to 18,000 km. This extraordinary journey, published in Royal Society Open Science, highlights the behavioral plasticity of humpback whales and the need for collaborative global datasets to understand their migration ecology amidst environmental changes.
