DCP Deep Dive: Do Narwhals Have Names?

 

Signature calls are calls that animals use to identify each other, and they are rare in the animal kingdom! Bottlenose dolphins have them, but do narwhals? Find out what the research tells us so far in this talk led by Dr. Audra Ames.

Dr. Ames is a bioacoustician, specializing in the communication signals of toothed whale species. In particular her interests are signature signals, sound production processes, and the impacts of human-made noise on important toothed whale sounds.

Deep Dives are geared toward ages 14+, but all are welcome.
