Sprint-like cardiac dynamics support repeated acrobatic lunges in foraging rorqual whales
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 31, August 2026. SignificanceRorqual whales’ foraging style combines high- and low-power feeding strategies to exploit prey patches at high efficiencies. To date, limited data exist to assess how rorquals’ cardiac function fluctuates to match the “extreme” exercise ...
