Abstract:
In this commentary, I provide an introduction to and the context for the four articles in the thematic series published to celebrate the Editorial Board Meeting of the Anatomical Record in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in July of 2017. The articles describe various aspects of whale anatomy and the potential for a new generation of digital tags to provide information on functional anatomy of free swimming animals in the wild. The whales described are all native to the northwest coast of North America, as well as being found elsewhere, and the authors are related in some way to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
