Echolocating bats and toothed whales hunt and navigate by emission of sound pulses and
analysis of returning echoes to form a self-generated auditory scene. Here, we demonstrate …

Shipping is the dominant marine anthropogenic noise source in the world's oceans, yet we
know little about vessel encounter rates, exposure levels and behavioural reactions for …

Loud sound emitted during offshore industrial activities can impact marine mammals.
Regulations typically prescribe marine mammal monitoring before and/or during these …

Harbour porpoises are under pressure from increasing human activities. This includes the
detonation of ammunition that was dumped in large amounts into the sea during and after …

Porpoise echolocation has been studied previously, mainly in target detection experiments
using stationed animals and steel sphere targets, but little is known about the acoustic …

Social delphinids employ a vocal repertoire of clicks for echolocation and whistles for
communication. Conversely, the less social and acoustically cryptic harbour porpoises …

Knowing the abundance of a population is a crucial component to assess its conservation
status and develop effective conservation plans. For most cetaceans, abundance estimation …

The Indian Ocean and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus and Tursiops
truncatus) are among the best studied echolocating toothed whales. However, almost all …

Communication in complex environments poses challenges of potential loss of intended
messages, but some animals may compensate by using multimodal signalling. Courtship …
