Vocal interactions are intrinsic features of social groups and can play a pivotal role in bonding.1,2 Dunbar's bonding hypothesis posits that vocal exchanges evolved to "groom at distance" when became too large or complex for individuals devote time physical activities.1,3 Tests this non-human primates, however, suggest occur between more strongly bonded engage higher grooming rates4-7 thus do not provide evidence replacement bonding. Here, we combine data on bond strength, whistle exchange...
Vocal communication is an emblematic feature of group-living animals, used to share information and strengthen social bonds. Vocalizations are also coordinate group-level behaviours in many taxa, but little known the factors that may influence vocal behaviour during cooperative acts. Allied male Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops aduncus ) use ‘pop’ vocalization as a coercive signal when working together herd single oestrous females. Using long-term association acoustic data, we...
Central American (CA) and Breeding Stock-G (BSG) humpback whales are known to winter off Caño Island, Costa Rica at different times of the year. To study their singing behavior, autonomous underwater recorders were used record whales. Song detection for BSG was higher than CA whales, song structure distinct each population. No strong evidence cross-equatorial connectivity found. This provides first whale reference both populations in Rica, which can help advance understanding rate change...
