Animal signals convey information intra- and interspecifically, but their adaptive importance is often unknown. The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a widespread, highly vocal cetacean known to produce both songs and non-song calls, the latter of which has been less-studied. While associations between non-song calls and behaviour have been examined throughout their range, additional investigations into their temporal patterns in understudied regions may further provide information as to their behavioural context. Using continuous 24-h passive acoustic monitoring and aural/visual surveys of recordings, I investigated the temporal patterns in non-song call activity within three broad classes (low frequency, high frequency and pulsed) on a diel and daily scale across three summers (July-August, 2015-2017) at a foraging site on the northeast coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Low frequency calls were the dominant call class (43-75%) across all time scales relative to high frequency (9-17%) and pulsed calls (8-40%), suggesting low frequency calls are vital for communication among humpback whales on the foraging grounds, as observed throughout their range. Non-song call activity in all call classes was higher during light relative to dark or twilight periods, suggesting individuals are inactive, not engaged in behaviours requiring acoustic communication, and/or remain silent to minimize predator detection. Call activity peaked when humpback whales arrived into the study area and subsequently decreased, suggesting calls are more important in mediating social interactions during movement into the area, but less-so as whales disperse to forage throughout the area. Lastly, call activity varied among years with 2016 having double the call activity of the other years, which was also associated with the highest estimated humpback whale abundance but lowest prey (capelin, Mallotus villosus) biomass, suggesting call activity may indicate humpback whale abundance. Overall, temporal call activity patterns suggest that non-song calls may be important for conspecific communication and mediating social interactions rather than for foraging; however, more research is required to further elucidate their behavioural context in Newfoundland.

This book is a collection of original research papers given at a symposium entitled "Sensory Systems and Behavior of Aquatic Mammals", hosted by the USSR Academy of Sciences. The meeting was held in Moscow from 16 to 25 October, 1991 and involved nearly 100 scientists from around the world. The major headings of the book correspond to the session topics at the symposium. This meeting was not the first dedicated to problems of sensory systems in aquatic mammals. Experts in this field met several times previously to discuss important problems of sensory functions in echolocating animals. symposia on biosonar systems were held in Frascati, Italy in 1966, then in Jersey, France in 1978, and in Helsingor, Denmark in 1986. Papers presented at these meetings were pUblished in books that advanced significantly the understanding of sensory systems (Busnel and Fish, 1980; Nachtigall and Moore, 1988). Initially, echolocating bats were the main subjects of consideration. However, studies on echolocating aquatic mammals, whales and dolphins, increased from one meeting to the next. Indeed, aquatic mammals are of exceptional interest for studying the adaptation of sensory functions for echolocation in specific aquatic environments. As a natural consequence of these developments, the 1989 symposium in Rome was devoted specifically to the sensory systems of cetaceans (Thomas and Kastelein, 1990). This symposium was held within the Fifth International Theriological Congress and was attended by many scientists.

What if animals and humans could speak to one another? Tom Mustill—the nature documentarian who went viral when a thirty‑ton humpback whale breached onto his kayak—asks this question in his thrilling investigation into whale science and animal communication. A New Yorker Best Book of 2022 “When a whale is in the water, it is like an iceberg: you only see a fraction of it and have no conception of its size.” On September 12, 2015, Tom Mustill was paddling in a two-person kayak with a friend just off the coast of California. It was cold, but idyllic—until a humpback whale breached, landing on top of them, releasing the energy equivalent of forty hand grenades. He was certain he was about to die, but they both survived, miraculously unscathed. In the interviews that followed the incident, Mustill was left with one question: What could this astonishing encounter teach us? Drawing from his experience as a naturalist and wildlife filmmaker, Mustill started investigating human–whale interactions around the world when he met two tech entrepreneurs who wanted to use artificial intelligence (AI)—originally designed to translate human languages—to discover patterns in the conversations of animals and decode them. As he embarked on a journey into animal eavesdropping technologies, where big data meets big beasts, Mustill discovered that there is a revolution taking place in biology, as the technologies developed to explore our own languages are turned to nature. From seventeenth-century Dutch inventors, to the whaling industry of the nineteenth century, to the cutting edge of Silicon Valley, How to Speak Whale examines how scientists and start-ups around the world are decoding animal communications. Whales, with their giant mammalian brains, virtuoso voices, and long, highly social lives, offer one of the most realistic opportunities for this to happen. But what would the consequences of such human animal interaction be? We’re about to find out.
