摘要: Humpback whales may use different sounds based on the propagation characteristics of environment within which they are vocalizing. The authors used computational techniques to assess how well frequencies propagate in environments frequented by humpback whales. results these simulations suggest that humpbacks should northern feeding grounds from those southern breeding areas order achieve maximal ranges both regions. Preliminary data previous reports do environments, consistent with predictions their simulations.
