Underwater recordings of Weddell seal calls recorded as a indication of male attributes, both inter and intra-sexual interactions during the breeding season in Weddell seals
Entry ID:
K027_1997_2001_NZ_2
Summary
Abstract:
To determine if male weddell seal calls reveal information on male attributes, recordings of major Weddell call types from all of the sampled males at the Turtlerock colony was correlated with measurements taken during capture. To examine the call function, with respect to intra and inter sexual activities, under water playback and video monitoring techniques were used. Two playback experiments ...
