Humpback whale song on the Southern Ocean feeding grounds: implications for cultural transmission.

Male humpback whales produce a long, complex, and stereotyped song on low-latitude breeding grounds; they also sing while migrating to and from these locations, and occasionally in high-latitude summer feeding areas. All males in a population sing the current version of the constantly evolving displ...
