Echolocating bats and toothed whales hunt and navigate by emission of sound pulses and
analysis of returning echoes to form a self-generated auditory scene. Here, we demonstrate …

Social delphinids employ a vocal repertoire of clicks for echolocation and whistles for
communication. Conversely, the less social and acoustically cryptic harbour porpoises …

Knowing the abundance of a population is a crucial component to assess its conservation
status and develop effective conservation plans. For most cetaceans, abundance estimation …

Toothed whales produce sound in their nasal complex by pneumatic actuation of phonic lip
pairs within the blowhole. It has been hypothesized that dual actuation of the phonic lip pairs …

Harbour porpoises are visually inconspicuous but highly soniferous echolocating marine
predators that are regularly studied using passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). PAM can …

Cetaceans use sound for communication, navigation and finding prey. Most extant
odontocetes produce broadband (BB) biosonar clicks covering frequency ranges from tens …

Most dolphin species produce broadband clicks for echolocation (ie, biosonar pulses), and
whistles and burst-pulsed calls for communication purposes. A few dolphin species in the …

Toothed whales (Cetacea, odontoceti) use biosonar to navigate their environment and to
find and catch prey. All studied toothed whale species have evolved highly directional, high …

Odontocetes produce a range of different echolocation clicks but four groups in different
families have converged on producing the same stereotyped narrow band high frequency …

Visually dominant animals use gaze adjustments to organize perceptual inputs for cognitive
processing. Thereby they manage the massive sensory load from complex and noisy …
