Vocal interactions between singing humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae

Animal Behaviour
Abstract Humpback whales construct predictably patterned sequences within multi-hour sessions of sound production. These sequences (called “songs”) are some of the most structurally and acoustically complex vocal patterns produced by any mammal.

Is it possible to go whale watching off the coast of Peru?: A case study of humpback whales ¿Es posible hacer turismo de observación de ballenas en la costa de Perú?: Un caso de estudio con ballenas jorobadas

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2011
Whale watching is the human activity of encountering cetaceans in their natural habitat for recreational and scientific purposes. Despite the high diversity of cetaceans in Peruvian waters, this activity has yet to be developed.

Humpback whale masked hearing thresholds in noise measured with modified behavioral observation audiometry

Communications Biology
Audiograms are available for multiple species of odontocetes (toothed whales). However, there are no empirically measured audiograms for any mysticete (baleen whale) meaning their hearing sensitivity is inferred.
