The Humpback's new Songs: Diverse and Convergent Evidence Against Vocal Culture via Copying in Humpback Whales [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2022 Singing humpback whales constantly modify their songs over hours, days, months, and years, throughout their adult lives. Intriguingly, humpbacks appear to vary songs in concert, with most singers in a population producing similar songs at any given time.
