A harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) shows extensive respiratory control in sound production [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution
The duration of animal vocalizations varies between and within species. Which mammals can learn to control this duration? Such respiratory production learning is a scarcely studied subcomponent of vocal learning.

Bioacoustics and rhythm [PDF]

Abstract Bioacoustics is an interdisciplinary science; it concerns aspects of communication through sound in animals, including humans. Within language evolution research, bioacoustics is particularly relevant to address questions about the origins and evolution of speech.

Dynamic spatiotemporal acoustic occurrence of North Atlantic right whales in the offshore Rhode Island and Massachusetts Wind Energy Areas

Endangered Species Research, 2022
As development of offshore wind energy areas (WEAs) progresses along the US Atlantic coast, so will the spatiotemporal overlap and potential space-use conflict with vulnerable or protected wildlife, including Critically Endangered North Atlantic right ...

Robust rhythm reporting will advance ecological and evolutionary research

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Rhythmicity in the millisecond to second range is a fundamental building block of communication and coordinated movement. But how widespread are rhythmic capacities across species, and how did they evolve under different environmental pressures ...

The First Attempt of Satellite Tracking on Occurrence and Migration of Bryde’s Whale (Balaenoptera edeni) in the Beibu Gulf

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Satellite-tagging is increasingly becoming a powerful biotelemetry approach to obtain remote measurement through tracking free-living cetaceans, which can fill knowledge gaps on cetaceans and facilitate conservation management.

Can harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) discriminate familiar conspecific calls after long periods of separation? [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
The ability to discriminate between familiar and unfamiliar calls may play a key role in pinnipeds’ communication and survival, as in the case of mother-pup interactions. Vocal discrimination abilities have been suggested to be more developed in pinniped

Aircraft events correspond with vocal behavior in a passerine

Scientific Reports, 2021
Airports can affect birds by hindering acoustic communication. Here, we investigated the impacts of aircraft events on vocal behavior in wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) breeding one mile from an airport in Ithaca, NY, USA.

Acoustics in water: synergies with marine biology

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
This paper presents some of the bioacoustics related analysis that was performed on the ANTARES data, focussing on the year 2014. The data was processed for sperm whale, dolphin and shipping presence and grouped by hour of the day.

Anomalous Coloration of Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins off Southern China

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin is characterized by a particular ontogenic change in body color from dark gray at birth to pure white (or with a few dark-gray spots) after reaching adulthood.

Seagrass Posidonia is impaired by human-generated noise

Communications Biology, 2021
Solé et al. report morphological and ultrastructural changes in seagrass, after exposure to human generated noise. These data suggest that noise pollution can potentially affect the health status of seagrass and thereby contribute to the depletion of ...
