Widespread habitat degradation and uncharacteristic fire, insect, and disease outbreaks in forests across
the western United States have led to highly publicized calls to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration.
Despite these calls, we frequently lack a comprehensive understanding of forest restoration

Mesoplodon hotaula. Although the new species is closely-related to the rare
ginkgo-toothed beaked whale M. ginkgodens, we show that these two lineages can be

population level traits ranging from complex singing to stereotyped prey capturing behaviour. Humpback
whales have been observed to employ group foraging techniques, however details...
