3. We show that toothed whales have an air driven sound production system in their nose that works like laryngeal and syringeal sound production. So not muscle contractions like cat purring. The nasal phonic lips produce loud echolocation clicks when closing.

1. How can toothed whales make echolocation clicks with air at 1000m depth? And how can they use the same sound source for both ultrasonic clicks for echolocation and softer calls for communication? Check out our new paper in Science! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

First sperm whale match between Ireland and the Azores!!! The stranded whale at Arranmore in Donegal last month was identified by Lisa Steiner from Whale Watch Azores as "2811" who was last seen off Faial Island on 24th September 2004!

🚨New paper alert!🚨 We've known for a decade that killer whale moms keep their adult sons alive. But how does this impact the moms? Turns out, quite a lot! Read more here (OA) cell.com/current-biolog… and see the thread below...

Fantastic visualisation, albeit depressing. Sometimes you don't need a model nor statistics to see an effect! Apparently, life as a blue whale is not just blues, is full of death metal, literaly!

Resident killer whales co-evolved with 80-100 Lb Chinook. An adult orca requires 250-400 lbs fish/day. Imagine the extra energy needed to catch 400lbs of scarce 12.5lb salmon (the new average size) vs needing to only catch 3/day. #FreeTheSnake @GovInslee @OrcaSOS @TheOrcaProject

Two intriguing statements: "there were hundreds of orcas" and "the orcas followed their towed conspecific home". We don't know much about these orcas, but it seems unlikely to find them by the 100s. Pity we don't have video evidence. shorturl.at/xFGKQ

I vividly remember the day I saw over 20 fin whales in Faial. It felt like whale soup out there. This mega congregation takes it to the next level!
