Bowhead Whales are the ‘Songbirds of the Arctic Sea’
"The Critically Endangered bowhead whale is unusual amongst mammals because they, like songbirds, sing a diverse repertoire of many distinct and complex songs throughout the months-long polar night"

#Whalesong patterns follow a universal law of human language, new research finds - https://phys.org/news/2025-02-whalesong-patterns-universal-law-human.html "why would such different systems in such incredibly distant species have common structures? We suggest the reason behind this is that both are #culturally learned." exciting stuff

New tech helps find hidden details in #whale, #cassowary and other barely audible #animal calls https://theconversation.com/our-new-tech-helps-find-hidden-details-in-whale-cassowary-and-other-barely-audible-animal-calls-234565 paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.11636 #animals
"limitations of one of the most common methods used to analyse #AnimalSounds... may have caused disagreements about a #WhaleSong in the Indian Ocean, and about animal calls on land, too... a new method can overcome this problem. It reveals previously hidden details of #AnimalCalls... it showed previously unreported temporal details"

Rich session on Hawaiian Humpback Whales - Scientific and Creative Perspectives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBSrjBewmdE
Annie Lewandowski & Kyle McDonald's notations of whalesong are super suggestive - translating spectograms to colourful 2D "gestures" (1:11:11).
Longing for less AI hype, and more public discussion on working with machine intelligence to relate more attentively to living creatures.

New humpback whale "songs" tend to originate in an incubation area off the eastern coast of Australia, then spread eastward across the Pacific – evidence of cultural transmission.
