This paper develops a multistate capture-recapture model to estimate calving probabilities in North Atlantic right whales using sightings data from 1990-2019, finding decreased calving rates after a 2010 regime shift and links to prey availability and severe injury.

This study estimates cause-specific injury and mortality rates of North Atlantic right whales using a multistate capture-recapture model, finding increased entanglement injuries and mortality in females with calves.
