A remarkable new study has come out looking at how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century has implications for modern day. It's no secret that whales have culture and have shown to pass along knowledge. Read here - https://t.co/0zBHOsoyND
Currently learning how to use PAMGuard for my MSc project on Bottlenose Dolphin foraging behaviour, what a cool peice of software! If anyone knows any opportunities involving passive acoustics I would love the chance to get more experience in this field #PAMGuard#lookingforwork

What to do when caught in the middle of hundreds of feeding Long-beaked common #dolphins? Stop your boat and let your jaw drop! Video clip from False Bay, #CapeTown. Owner of clip unknown but it has been shared wide and far. Too good not to share!
What a dol-fun encounter!🐬 they are such curious creatures, however unfortunately this leads to a lot of populations being subjugated to high by-catch levels.
Interested in learning #RStats? We've now made our @UoABioSci 'Introduction to R' book open access. 350 pages covering all the basics as well as using Rmarkdown and Git. Fantastic collaboration with @DeonRoos88 @Frances_Mancini@AnaSofiaCouto@lusseau https://t.co/zslUadkNwH
Amazing how intelligent Cetacea like this humpback whale are, and by monitoring their bioacoustics this opens up an entire new field in understanding their social and cognitive lifestyles
