The place that never freezes: the Arctic habitat where global heating threatens more ice, not less
By Words and pictures by Jimmy Thomson in Nunavut, Canada

The race to study the North Water between Canada and Greenland before it changes has led to a bold plan for an Inuit-run protected area

How decoding beluga whales’ chitchat may save them – and teach us more about ourselves
By Emma Bryce

From humpbacks learning the latest songs to sperm whales’ ‘clan codas’, drones and AI learning are helping reveal another dimension to the concept of culture

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦊🐋 #Indohyus was a #fox-sized, semi-aquatic mammal that lived in and around the coast of an island #India 49 to 45 million years ago.

#Fossil evidence, including a #skull accidentally broken in the lab in 2007, showed whale-like inner-ear #bones that placed it as the closest non-whale relative of all modern #whales. It gave rise to #Pakicetus and a chain of increasingly aquatic ancestors leading to today’s toothed and #baleen whales.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋⚓ Sperm whales near #Dominica shorten their click sequences and shift their vowel-like #sounds when #ships are present, according to researchers from #ProjectCETI and #UCBerkeley.

The team analyzed over 1,000 codas from 15 #whales over four years, finding that rhythm and click timing best predict nearby #vessels. The findings add to efforts to decode whale #language and understand how human noise affects #marine life.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🗣️ Sperm #whales in the #Mediterranean are splitting into two dialect groups: eastern whales clicking faster, western whales clicking slower, according to researchers.

By studying over 5,000 recordings from #Greece and #Spain, scientists discovered distinct regional accents.

Datasets for bioacoustics! So many of them: https://bioacoustic-ai.github.io/bioacoustics-datasets/ As part of the @bioacousticai project, Céline Angonin has produced a new searchable listing of audio data sources for animal sounds. Check it out and find a new dataset (or contribute your own). #bioacoustics #datasets #machinelistening #birdsong #animalsounds #cetaceans

At Least 20 #KillerWhales Are Responsible For #Rudder Raids On #Sailboats. Twenty animals out of a family pod of less than 60 seem to be the culprits, with the adults training the calves to engage in the behavior. As it turns out, #Orcas might just want to have fun. The Conservation, Information and Research on #Cetaceans (#CIRCE), told the BBC that the orcas do not seem to be acting out of trauma or (the very human emotion) revenge, but engaging in play https://jalopnik.com/at-least-20-killer-whales-are-responsible-for-rudder-ra-1850704700

@tommyyum to this I would add the 500 pilot whales slaughtered this year in the #grind in the Faeroe Islands, an annual tragedy that get's few headlines and no "live ticker" coverage. #whaling #whales #cetaceans #dolphins #PilotWhales
(the Guardian article headline says "dolphins", though they are called pilot whales)
