Audio_4_Gray Whale (Eschrictius robustus) Call Types Recorded During Migration off the West Coast of Vancouver Island.WAV
Gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) vocalizing behavior varies over its range, both in call type and frequency. This study adds to the growing body of passive acoustic research outside of the calving/breeding lagoons, and moves toward a description of calling behaviors throughout the whales' ran...
