Sound detection by the longfin squid (Loligo pealeii) studied with auditory evoked potentials: sensitivity to low-frequency particle motion and not pressure
Although hearing has been described for many underwater species, there is much debate
regarding if and how cephalopods detect sound. Here we quantify the acoustic sensitivity of …

Calling under pressure: short-finned pilot whales make social calls during deep foraging dives
Toothed whales rely on sound to echolocate prey and communicate with conspecifics, but
little is known about how extreme pressure affects pneumatic sound production in deep …

Echolocating toothed whales use ultra-fast echo-kinetic responses to track evasive prey
Visual predators rely on fast-acting optokinetic responses to track and capture agile prey.
Most toothed whales, however, rely on echolocation for hunting and have converged on …

Active hunting by deep-diving sperm whales: 3D dive profiles and maneuvers during bursts of speed
K Aoki, M Amano, K Mori, A Kourogi… - Marine Ecology …, 2012 - int-res.com
Active hunting pursuit can involve high expenditures of energy and therefore requires
appropriately high-energy gains from successful prey capture. Using data loggers deployed …

The long-range echo scene of the sperm whale biosonar
Sperm whales use their gigantic nose to produce the most powerful sounds in the animal
kingdom, presumably to echolocate deep-sea prey at long ranges and possibly to debilitate …

Sperm whale predator-prey interactions involve chasing and buzzing, but no acoustic stunning
The sperm whale carries a hypertrophied nose that generates powerful clicks for long-range
echolocation. However, it remains a conundrum how this bizarrely shaped apex predator …

The function of male sperm whale slow clicks in a high latitude habitat: Communication, echolocation, or prey debilitation?
Sperm whales produce different click types for echolocation and communication. Usual
clicks and buzzes appear to be used primarily in foraging while codas are thought to …
