It’s fantastic to see this important paper out. It will underpin a lot more work in this area. We’ll done Luca!

[Luke Rendell @lrendell.bsky.social @_lrendell]

So happy to see this paper finally published - huge congratulations to Luca for an epic effort and massive thanks to all collaborators @EllenGarland4 @JennyAllen13 @mikenoad! I think this is an important paper so here's an explainer 🧵 on the findings @_SMRU_ @SchoolofBiology

🚨New paper alert🚨

How can individual humpback whales stand out when everyone sings the same song? The answer is variability! Check out our paper, led by Luca Lamoni from his @_SMRU_ PhD.

🐋 Research by #UQ's @BecDunlop shows male whales along Australia’s eastern seaboard are giving up singing to attract a mate, switching instead to fighting off the competition. @UQscience

Australian humpback whales are singing less and fighting more. Should we be worried? https://t.co/PHN7VpkNHv via @ConversationEDU

How good is a whale's hearing? We'll soon find out. @CEG_UQ 's project on humpback hearing was a success thanks to all the help from the volunteers, collaborators, and whales. @UQscience
