Birch Aquarium’s Perspectives Lecture: Do We Understand Why Whales Sing?
John Hildebrand, Marine Acoustics Researcher
The Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series features engaging presentations on research conducted worldwide by scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.
In general, animal song is thought to have several specific characteristics including being restricted to males, having a territorial purpose, and being used to attract a mate. Join marine acoustics expert John Hildebrand to learn how the singing characteristics in some whale species challenges this generalization and how long term trends in whale song still present a mystery to scientists.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
