The choreography of belonging : toothed whale spatial cohesion and acoustic communication
… between animals. Looking more specifically at signature whistles, a type of call often linked to cohesion, I found that when one animal produced its own signature whistle, its partner was more likely to respond with its own whistle. To better evaluate potential cohesion functions for signature …

Pre- and Post-Partum Whistle Production of a Bottlenose Dolphin (<i>Tursiops truncatus</i>) Mother-Calf Dyad
<p>Whistle use pre- and post-partum in an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (<em>Tursiops truncatus)</em> mother-calf dyad has rarely been studied. The current study is the first to investigate signature whistle production by the mother pre- and post-partum, as well as whistle use by other members of the …
