We investigated Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) and leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) vocalizations using passive acoustic monitoring beneath landfast ice and open water, 5.6?km seaward from Davis Station, East Antarctica. Eight-minute recordings were manually sampled at 1?h intervals over 24?
Underwater vocalization monitoring and surveys, both on ice and underwater were used to determine if Weddell seals( Leptonychotews eddellit)n ear Mawson Station, Antarctica, remain under the fast ice during winter within close range of breeding … sites.
As a result of selective pressures faced during lactation, vocal recognition may … play a crucial role in maintaining the phocid mother–pup bond during the period … of dependence. To investigate this possibility, we examined whether Weddell seal … (Leptonychotes weddellii)…
Underwater calling behaviour between breathing … bouts of a single adult male Weddell seal … (Leptonychotes weddellii) was examined with … respect to call type and timing late in the breeding … season at Davis Station, Antarctica.
Anthropogenic noise generated through travel in the Antarctic has the potential to affect the region’s … wildlife. Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) in particular can be exposed to anthropogenic noise because they … live under, and breed on, the fast ice on which humans travel.
Vocal recognition may function as a critical factor in maintaining the phocid mother-pup bond during lactation. For vocal recognition to function, the caller must produce individually distinct calls that are recognised by their intended recipient.
Underwater vocalizations of Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) were recorded approximately 1400 km apart at Casey and Davis, Antarctica. Recordings were made during the 1992 and 1997 breeding seasons at Davis and during the 1997 season at Casey.
Stereo recordings of harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) and Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) underwater vocalizations were made near breeding groups using separations between two hydrophones of 159-339 m. Within a large herd, harp seal call numbers varied slightly between channels.
