A researcher prepares to deploy a multisensor, suction-cup tag to the back of a surfacing blue whale in the Southern California Bight. The suite of sensors within the tag enables researchers to measure the fine-scale movement and acoustic environment of whales during deep foraging dives. In the article that begins on p. 90, Jeremy A. Goldbogen and his coauthors discuss how data from such tags, integrated with other disciplines, have revolutionized the study of baleen whale behavior.
