New study suggests warming seas are negatively affecting beluga whales’ aggregation patterns
Relation between beluga whale aggregations and sea temperature on climate change forecasts. Credit: Frontiers in Marine Science (2024). DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2024.1359429 Until recently, technology limitations have made it challenging to effectively study the aggregation behavior of beluga whales. As climate change continues and sea surface temperatures rise quickly, the ability to do so becomes a priority
