Drones reveal rapid early growth in Australian humpback whales
Original: Drone measurements reveal rapid early growth in eastern Australian humpback whales
Researchers have used drone-based measurements to document remarkably fast early growth in eastern Australia's humpback whale population. The findings, reported by Phys.org, offer new insight into how quickly whale calves develop during their first months of life, using aerial photogrammetry rather than invasive methods. The study adds to scientific understanding of one of the southern hemisphere's best-known whale migrations along the Australian east coast.
Why now: A newly reported study shows drone technology producing fresh biological findings about a well-loved whale population.
