PY - 2015 DA - 2015/08/03 TI - Sound production and associated behavior of tagged fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in the Southern California Bight JO - Animal Biotelemetry SP - 23 VL - 3 IS - 1 AB - For marine animals, acoustic communication is critical for many life functions, yet individual calling behavior is poorly understood for most large whale species. These topics are important for understanding whale social behavior and can also serve as a baseline for behavioral studies assessing whale response to disturbance. Using a new technique for identifying the calling individual, we measured body orientation, dive behavior, and surface social behavior in relation to call production for tagged fin whales in Southern California.
