Short-finned pilot whales modulate surfacing and breathing patterns more strongly in response to dives than in anticipation.
Journal Article American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology · January 2026 Diving marine mammals must allocate time between respiring at the surface and foraging underwater. Previous studies of optimal diving theory have attempted to predict such patterns, but the amount of time divers must spend at the surface before and after d ...
