Killer whales are capable of vocal learning.
The production learning of vocalizations by manipulation of the sound production organs to alter the physical structure of sound has been demonstrated in only a few mammals. In this natural experiment, we document the vocal behaviour of two juvenile killer whales, Orcinus orca, separated from their natal pods, which are the only cases of dispersal seen during the three decades of observation of...
متن کاملAutomatic identification of individual killer whales.
Following the successful use of HMM and GMM models for classification of a set of 75 calls of northern resident killer whales into call types [Brown, J. C., and Smaragdis, P., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 125, 221-224 (2009)], the use of these same methods has been explored for the identification of vocalizations from the same call type N2 of four individual killer whales. With an average of 20 vocaliza...
متن کاملKiller whales and whaling: the scavenging hypothesis.
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) frequently scavenged from the carcasses produced by whalers. This practice became especially prominent with large-scale mechanical whaling in the twentieth century, which provided temporally and spatially clustered floating carcasses associated with loud acoustic signals. The carcasses were often of species of large whale preferred by killer whales but that normally...
متن کاملKiller whales (Orcinus orca) produce ultrasonic whistles.
This study reports that killer whales, the largest dolphin, produce whistles with the highest fundamental frequencies ever reported in a delphinid. Using wide-band acoustic sampling from both animal-attached (Dtag) and remotely deployed hydrophone arrays, ultrasonic whistles were detected in three Northeast Atlantic populations but not in two Northeast Pacific populations. These results are inc...
متن کاملWave-generated Transport Induced by Ideal Waves
We consider boundary layer ows driven by either monochromatic progressive waves or standing waves. The forcing waves may be noisy from either phase or amplitude uctuations in these waves. The central issue addressed here is whether such ows are capable of developing spatial transport velocity patterns which persist over time. The existence of such patterns has two important consequences. First,...
