Pygmy blue whale movements between Australia and Indonesia are published

node

Satellite telemetry from eleven pygmy blue whales tagged off Western Australia is published, with tracks of 8 to 308 days covering a mean of 3,009 km and a maximum of 14,101 km. It is the most detailed migration record for any blue whale subspecies, and the contrast with the Antarctic subspecies - two published tracks in total - is a statement about research access rather than about the animals.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  17. Evidence
  18. Eleven pygmy blue whales tagged off Western Australia were tracked for between 8 and 308 days, covering a mean distance of 3,009 km (SD 892) with individual tracks from 832 km to 14,101 km, moving between Australian and Indonesian waters. V55 verification basis: these figures were returned in the search result carrying the paper's abstract and attributed to it.
