🐋 Research by #UQ's @BecDunlop shows male whales along Australia’s eastern seaboard are giving up singing to attract a mate, switching instead to fighting off the competition. @UQscience

Australian humpback whales are singing less and fighting more. Should we be worried? https://t.co/PHN7VpkNHv via @ConversationEDU

We’ve noticed a clear trend away from singing as a mating tactic among male humpbacks. But it’s probably a pretty good strategy.

Yes, it was a great season. Many thanks to all our wonderful 'volies', to Rob Slade for doing everything, Eric Kniest for the S2SS software that makes it all work, Dorian Houser for his enormous brain and @BecDunlop for her leadership and camaraderie. @UQscience @CEG_UQ
How good is a whale's hearing? We'll soon find out. @CEG_UQ 's project on humpback hearing was a success thanks to all the help from the volunteers, collaborators, and whales. @UQscience
