  abstract = {{T}he short-term response of humpback whales to boat approach and remote biopsy sampling was investigated in a breeding ground according to age-class, sex, female reproductive status, social context, sampling system, habitat, and repeated sampling with more than 20 years of data. {I}n a total of 2,248 observed behavioral responses to biopsy sampling, 58.7% showed no response, 40.7% were considered to be weak or moderate responses, and only 0.5% were considered to be strong. {N}o significant difference was found between the response of calves (young-of-the-year) and that of adults, whereas juveniles responded significantly more strenuously. {T}he response of adult whales was influenced by sex, female reproductive status, and social context. {M}others showed the most frequent response to the boat approach, but the weakest response to the biopsy sampling itself, whereas nonlactating females had the strongest response to biopsy sampling. {M}ales responded less when sampled within a competitive group. {R}epeated sampling of individual adults resulted in decreasing intensity of responses across years. {T}his comprehensive assessment has implications for management authorities, notably in approving research permits for sampling different age classes on breeding grounds.},
