The passage and the lecture are both about the migration of humpback wales. The passage states that the whales use the stars as a method of orientation by providing three arguments. The lecture refutes the ideas stated by pointing out several reasons.
First, the passage claims that humpback whales have a high intelligence and this is why they are able to orientate through stars. The lecturer contradicts this idea by saying that there is no connection between intelligence and stars. As a support for this, he provides the example of ducks that are not highly intelligent but they are still able to use constellations.
Second,the passage outlines the migration pattern of whales. They migrate in straight lines with the help of external forces or objects that happen to be stars. The lecturer casts doubts on this by bringing the convincing argument of magnetic fields. He states that the whales have biomagnetide that helps them track the magnetic fields.
Last but not least, the passage discusses how whales float above the water for several minutes in order to spot stars during night. The lecturer disclaims it by providing two reasons. There are other animals that practice spy-hopping such as sharks. They do it in order to hunt not to chase stars. Furthermore, the humping whales practice spy-hopping during daytime not just to migrate and in the night.
In conclusion, the passage supports the idea of the humping whales that migrate with the help of stars. On the other hand, the lecture provides arguments that prove otherwise.
