2015. Disproportionate emission of bubble streams with killer whale
biphonic calls:
perspectives on production and function. JASA Express Letters
137(2): EL165-170.
Abstract:
Stereotyped pulsed calls were attributed to 11 killer whales (Orcinus
orca) with and without synchronous bubble streams in three
datasets collected from two facilities from 1993 to 2012. Calls with
and without synchronous bubble streams and divergent overlapping high
frequency components ("biphonic" vs "monophonic") were
compared. Subjects produced bubbles significantly more often when
calls had divergent
high frequency components. However, acoustic features in one biphonic
call shared by five subjects provided little evidence for an
acoustic effect of synchronous bubble flow. Disproportionate bubbling
supported other evidence that biphonic calls form a distinct category,
but suggested a function in short-range communication.
