Toothed whale auditory brainstem responses measured with a non-invasive, on-animal tag [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2021 Empirical measurements of odontocete hearing are limited to captive individuals, constituting a fraction of species across the suborder. Data from more species could be available if such measurements were collected from unrestrained animals in the wild ...
