New diets, bubble tricks and learning to share: How whales are adapting to a warming North Atlantic
Introduction: Climate change reshapes the ocean, reshapes whale behavior Rising temperatures and increased human activity are pushing North Atlantic ecosystems toward abrupt changes. Whales, as top consumers and long-distance travelers, are responding in surprising ways. A growing body of research shows that climate-driven shifts in prey distribution, water temperature, and prey accessibility are prompting adjustments…
