Repetition patterns in Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) underwater multiple element calls
Progress Code: completed Statement: Digital audio tape (DAT) recordings of Weddell seal underwater vocalisations were obtained near Weddell seal breeding groups during the 1997 breeding season. These recordings were made off the Eastern Antarctic coastline near two Australian Antarctic stations. Eig...

These recordings were made off the Eastern Antarctic coastline near two Australian Antarctic stations. Eight recordings (three from the same location) were made near Casey during 21 October - 30 November and seven recordings (each at a different location) were made near Davis during 8 November - 1 December, for a total of 15 recordings made at 12 locations. The recordings were made during a period of 24 h light, near groups of females with pups on the ice. The number, sex and age of the vocalising seals could not be determined, nor was it possible to determine the proximity of the seals to the hydrophone. Each recording lasted 1-2 hours. At each recording site, one hole was drilled through the sea-ice and the hydrophone was lowered approximately 2 m below the ice. Sony TCD-D3 DAT recorders (frequency response 0.002-20kHz plus or minus 1 dB) were used to make the recordings. At Casey, an ITC 6050C hydrophone (frequency response 0.002-30 kHz plus or minus 1 dB), with a built in preamplifier was connected to the Sony DAT recorder.

The duration of the calls (22 plus or minus 16.6s) did not seem to vary with an increasing number of elements (F4.404 = 1.83, p = 0.122) because element and interval durations decreased as the number of elements within a call increased.
