Dolphins Complex Social Network

We Call Him Flipper. But What Do The Dolphins Call Him

Dolphins, like humans, are part of complex social networks. And research now indicates that they use their unique whistle sounds to identify and communicate with each other. "Every time a dolphin heard its signature whistle, it called back, sometimes multiple times," One researcher says.

Network Social Complex Dolphins

Dolphins have always been my favorite animals, because of their intelligence and social structure. They are very beautiful animals no matter what species of dolphin. I've heard many stories of dolphins rescuing humans from shark attack, and watching over human mothers while in the water. It doesn't surprise me that they could be calling each other by name (Their signature whistles).

New study investigates the environmental cues dolphins use to migrate on the Atlantic coast of North America

Seasonal migration patterns of bottlenose dolphins -- what we know for sure? With the changing of the seasons comes the urge to migrate for many animals of the world, whether they be furred, feathered, or even finned. One finned animal in particular, the common bottlenose dolphin, undertakes seasonal migrations each spring and fall, but how the dolphins know when to migrate has not always been clear. It was usually assumed that their southern migration begins when the ocean waters drop in temperature. However, until now there was little evidence to support this and it was largely unknown what factors influence the initiation of dolphin migration. A new study has discovered some of the factors that influence these seasonal migrations. Ref. Source 6m.

New algorithm recognizes distinct dolphin clicks in underwater recordings. Scientists have developed a new algorithm that can identify distinct dolphin click patterns among millions of clicks in recordings of wild dolphins. This approach could potentially help distinguish between dolphin species in the wild. Source 2g.
