Differences in acoustic signals from Delphinids in the western North Atlantic and northern Gulf of Mexico
Abstract Whistle characteristics were quantitatively compared between both geographically separated and neighboring populations of Atlantic spotted dolphins ( Stenella frontalis ), bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ), and pilot whales ( Globicephala spp .) in U.S. waters to evaluate if intras...
