ABSTRACT Cetaceans are indicators of ocean health, influence marine ecosystem dynamics and hold socio‐economic importance for coastal whaling communities. Yet whale–whaler relationships remain poorly understood and are increasingly compromised under the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Here, we briefly outline

The Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphin population in Xiamen Bay was divided into two geographically separated but socially associated communities inhabiting the West and East sub‐regions. Based on 3 years of boat‐based surveys, this study established baseline acoustic characteristics and investigated whether vocal patterns varied with habitat conditions ...

Acoustic behavior of melon-headed whales varies on a diel cycle. [PDF]
Many terrestrial and marine species have a diel activity pattern, and their acoustic signaling follows their current behavioral state. Whistles and echolocation clicks on long-term recordings produced by melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra) at ...

Partner Choice and Context‐Dependent Sex Differences in Rat Rough‐and‐Tumble Play
When given partner choice in triadic play, male rats showed a robust preference for female partners, whereas females formed partner preferences that were not sex specific. Females initiated less play in mixed‐sex groups but played at male‐typical levels in all‐female groups, demonstrating that sex differences in rough‐and‐tumble play arise both from ...
