Hearing mechanisms in baleen whales (Mysticeti) are essentially unknown but their
vocalization frequencies overlap with anthropogenic sound sources. Synthetic audiograms …

The finite element modeling (FEM) space reported here contains the head of a simulated
whale based on CT data sets as well as physical measurements of sound-propagation …

Creating a baseline understanding of communicative signals and perceptual abilities is
imperative for gaining insight into a species' life history. This is especially relevant for at-risk …

Documenting hearing abilities is vital to understanding a species' acoustic ecology and for
predicting the impacts of increasing anthropogenic noise. Cetaceans use sound for …

Cetaceans possess highly derived auditory systems adapted for underwater hearing.
Odontoceti (toothed whales) are thought to receive sound through specialized fat bodies that …

Global concern over the possible deleterious effects of noise on marine organisms was
catalyzed when toothed whales stranded and died in the presence of high intensity sound …

Abstract Defence R&D Canada–Atlantic has an ongoing research program that requires the
transmission of acoustic energy in an undersea environment. Though the transmissions are …

This study uses remote imaging technology to quantify, compare, and contrast the cephalic
anatomy between a neonate female and a young adult male Cuvier's beaked whale …

Hearing is attenuated in the aerial ear of humans and other land mammals tested in
pressure chambers as a result of middle ear impedance changes that result from increased …

There is increasing concern about the potential effects of noise pollution on marine life in the
world's oceans. For marine mammals, anthropogenic sounds may cause behavioral …
