Stability and group specificity of stereotyped whistles in resident killer whales, Orcinus orca, off British Columbia (2006, background): “Males of each breeding ground sing more or less the same song, whereas songs from different breeding grounds show distinct differences (Cerchio et al. 2001).”
Humpback whale song occurs extensively on feeding grounds in the western North Atlantic Ocean (2012, methodology): “For the present study, song sessions were delineated by a significant gap of silence of at least 1 min (as in Guinee & Payne 1988) due to the absence of a clear marker, such as the surface ratchet reported in previous studies (e.g. Cerchio et al. 2001, Fristrup 2003).”
Songs of male humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, are involved in intersexual interactions (2008, unknown): “Males incorporating novelty into their songs may drive changes in the song (Noad et al. 2000; Cerchio et al. 2001).”
Humpback whale song hierarchical structure: Historical context and discussion of current classification issues (2013, methodology): “…in labeling and delineating phrases, multiple authors have recognized that phrase duration is one of the most stable features of humpback whale song, with very low coefficients of variation within and between individuals (Frumhoff 1983, Payne et al. 1983, Cerchio 1993, Cerchio et al. 2001).”
Humpback whale songs: Do they organize males during the breeding season? (2006, background): “However, Cerchio et al. (2001) indicate that, whereas some aspects of the song change similarly during a season in both Mexico and Hawaii, others, specifically the structure of song patterns, changed differently in each area.”
Biogeographic characterisation of blue whale song worldwide: using song to identify populations (2023, background): “…utility of whale songs as an indicator of biologically meaningful stocks for blue whales (Cummings and Thompson, 1971; Edds, 1982), humpback whales (Payne and Guinee, 1983; Cerchio et al., 2001), fin whales (Thompson et al., 1992; Hatch and Clark, 2004) and Bryde’s whales (Oleson et al., 2003).”
North Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica) seasonal and diel calling patterns from long-term acoustic recordings in the southeastern Bering Sea, 2000-2006 (2008, background): “3B), which appear similar to low-frequency components of humpback whale songs in other areas in the North Pacific (e.g., Cerchio et al. 2001, Fristrup et al. 2003).”
Strong maternal fidelity and natal philopatry shape genetic structure in North Pacific humpback whales (2013, unknown): “The occasional long-range movement between wintering grounds (e.g. Japan to Hawaii; Darling & Cerchio 1993), the synchronous exchange of song (Cerchio et al. 2001) and contrasting patterns of variation in mtDNA and nuclear (nu)DNA (Palumbi & Baker 1994) provide evidence counter to natal fidelity.”
