露脊鲸（学名：Balaenopteridae）是世界上最大的掠食者，有时在海面附近或海面上捕食小型集群猎物。大多数的短角鲨捕捉猎物的行为过程被称为“刺食”，当发生在水面上时，通常会将嘴和头暴露在水面上。新技术最近改善了历史上对罗夸尔龙的捕食行为的自然变化的误解，但文献中缺少对这些行为的识别，使用和进化的专门研究，当这些行为用于捕获猎物时。在这里，我们提出了一个长期的调查结果，从三个roqual鲸鱼物种（小须鲸，长须鲸，尖吻长须鲸，B。和蓝鲸，B. musculus），帮助我们制定了一个标准化的分类系统的表面肺喂养（SLF）的行为。然后，我们测试了这些行为在三个物种之间以及所有物种之间的频率差异。我们的成果：（1）提出了一个统一的分类系统的六个同源的SLF行为使用的所有生活rorqual鲸鱼物种;（2）证明统计上显着差异的频率，每一个行为的小须鲸，长须鲸，蓝鲸;（3）提供新的信息进化的lunge-feeding行为之间rorqual鲸鱼。
Rorqual whales (Family: Balaenopteridae) are the world’s largest predators and sometimes feed near or at the sea surface on small schooling prey. Most rorquals capture prey using a behavioral process known as lunge-feeding that, when occurring at the surface, often exposes the mouth and head above the water. New technology has recently improved historical misconceptions about the natural variation in rorqual lunge-feeding behavior yet missing from the literature is a dedicated study of the identification, use, and evolution of these behaviors when used to capture prey at the surface. Here we present results from a long-term investigation of three rorqual whale species (minke whale, Balaenoptera acutorostrata; fin whale, B. physalus ;a nd blue whale, B. musculus) that helped us develop a standardized classification system of surface lunge-feeding (SLF) behaviors. We then tested for differences in frequency of these behaviors among the three species and across all rorqual species. Our results: (1) propose a unified classification system of six homologous SLF behaviors used by all living rorqual whale species; (2) demonstrate statistically significant differences in the frequency of each behavior by minke, fin, and blue whales; and (3) provide new information regarding the evolution of lunge-feeding behaviors among rorqual whales.
