McGill University biologist and associate professor Virginie Millien says ocean warming has caused the whales to adjust their migration in order to catch the peak of the seasonal “bloom” of krill off the Antarctic coast.

She says warming waters may initially hamper the whales’ ability to determine when to start migrating, then lead to more dramatic shifts.
