Delphinapterus leuca (Beluga whale)

1977
The karyotypes were donated by Dr. Deborah A. Duffield and come from lymphocyte cultures. The female karyotype is C-banded. The last pair of autosomes has distinct satellite with heteromorphic C-band.

Unsupervised classification of beluga whale vocalizations

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005
Unsupervised classification techniques are designed to discover natural groupings in a collection of data. For instance, unsupervised classification methods can be used to help define a repertoire for a species by grouping similar vocalizations together. The vocalizations grouped together are then defined as a single call type in the repertoire.

Microsatellites from the beluga whaleDelphinapterus leucas

Molecular Ecology, 1996
AbstractFifteen microsatellites were isolated from a beluga whaleDelphinapterus leucas, genomic library. The microsatellites were amplified in 100 beluga obtained from two widely separated locations. An average of 8.6 alleles per locus were detected and the average heterozygosity was 0.65 with a range of 0.27–0.86.

Masked tonal hearing thresholds in the beluga whale

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1989
Masked tonal thresholds were measured for a beluga whale at one noise level and 32 frequencies between 40 Hz and 115 kHz. Critical ratios were estimated and compared with those previously measured for the bottlenose dolphin. Beluga whale critical ratios were found to be about 3 dB lower than those of the bottlenose dolphin.

Demonstration of adaptation in beluga whale echolocation signals

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985
The echolocation signals of the same beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) were measured first in San Diego Bay, and later in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii. The ambient noise level in Kaneohe Bay is typically 12 – 17 dB greater than in San Diego Bay. The whale demonstrated the adaptiveness of its biosonar by shifting to higher frequencies and intensities ...

Acoustic Signature of the Beluga Whale

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974
Acoustic signatures have been acquired from a pod of Beluga (Delphinapt-Erus Leucas) whales. These whales were swimming unmolested on the surface in the lead ∼1000×200 yd in the north Bering Sea. The acoustic data were acquired with a sensitive noise system ( — 84 dB) in a region free of man-made noise.
