Humpback whales’ use of memory to time their migration could prove less effective amid climate change

webfull — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 13:09:16 +0000

A new study led by 91�� researchers indicates that humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific combine real-time environmental cues with their memories of conditions in their Antarctic feeding grounds to determine when to embark on their annual 10,000-kilometre journey. With climate change accelerating, the researchers warn this strategy may become less effective amid shifting ocean conditions.
