🌊 What’s That Sound Reveal: The Grey Seal! 🌊 🦭

Did you guess it right? Today’s mysterious ocean sound comes from the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus)!

Their vocal repertoire includes grunts, growls, and high-pitched wails.

🔊What’s that sound Wednesday?? 🤔

Can you guess which marine animal makes this ocean sound as part of their vocal repertoire?

We will give you a hint…it’s not a whale! ⁦@ORCA_Ireland⁩

Manx Shearwaters breed at night, in burrows, in dense noisy colonies, on remote Atlantic islands. How can they recognise each other in such conditions? Find out more in a new study by @MMU_NATSCI and @ImperialLifeSci published today in @AvianBiology

Great day at the @Huawei #OceanTech summit in Baltimore seeing the progress and plans with @ORCA_Ireland @SmartWhaleSound project.
Best part was getting sufficiently soaked locating harbour porpoises, common dolphins and minke whales 🐳 dolphins

THREAD: On Monday, August 7, 2023, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) issued its first ever ‘vaquita extinction alert,’ stating the said marine animal, found only in the northern Gulf of California is in the edge of extinction due to gillnet entanglement.

AI models are growing in complexity at an impressive rate. But is a larger model necessarily smarter? A group of scientists is hoping to trim some of the fat, @anilananth reports for @Nature.

We investigated the effect of noise on coordination between two bottlenose dolphins performing a cooperative task, while exposing them to increasing levels of noise. Both dolphins were wearing sound- and movement recording #DTAGs allowing us to examine their vocal behaviour.

[Pernille M Sørensen @PernilleMS]

🌟New Paper Alert! 🌟We have new research published today in @CurrentBiology showing that anthropogenic noise impairs cooperation in bottlenose dolphins ➡️https://t.co/gOJdgmDPG6 @_StephanieLKing @DolphinResearch @frantsjensen Peter L. Tyack
