AKC online seminar: The largest of August Krogh animals: Physiology and biomechanics of whales revisited
August Krogh Club online seminar
Professor Peter Teglberg Madsen
Aarhus University, Denmark.
Abstract
Whales are the largest animals ever, and Prof. Krogh was among the first to contemplate the physiological consequences of such gigantism in his seminal 1934 paper “Physiology of the blue whale”. Their size, habitat and endangered status, however, offer formidable challenges to study whale physiology.
In this talk I will outline how we to some degree have overcome these formidable problems with multisensor onboard tags, and present examples of how we increasingly can speak to the field physiology of these large and important predators.
