Do sperm whales share coda vocalizations? - Insights into coda usage from acoustic size measurement
Group-specific communication signals are found in many group-living species. One example is group variation in ' the production of codas, which are short stereotyped patterns of clicks produced in social contexts, by sperm whales, Physeter macrocephalus. However, little is known about how codas...
