This paper analyzes sperm whale foraging behavior using acoustic and movement data to show two distinct prey-capture tactics within persistent search patterns.

This paper shows sperm whale codas resemble human vowels in acoustic properties and pattern similarly across multiple dimensions, suggesting a close parallel to human phonology.

This paper uses machine learning to analyze sperm whale vocalizations and behavior, finding structured patterns and predictive information in their communication.

This study identifies contextual and combinatorial structure in sperm whale vocalizations, revealing a complex communication system with features similar to human language.
