Are Antarctic minke whales unusually abundant because of 20th century whaling?

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

Severe declines in megafauna worldwide illuminate the role of top predators in ecosystem structure. In the Antarctic, the Krill Surplus Hypothesis posits that the killing of more than 2 million large whales led to competitive release for smaller krill-eating species like the Antarctic minke whale. If true, the current size of the Antarctic minke whale population may be unusually high as an indirect result of...
