Acoustic propagation modeling indicates vocal compensation in noise improves communication range for North Atlantic right whales

Sound from transoceanic shipping is a major component of ocean noise budgets. Baleen whale communication may be particularly vulnerable to shipping noise impacts due to overlap in the frequencies of signals and noise. Baleen whales rely upon acoustic signals to mediate a variety of social interactio...
