4. Acoustic Communication in Whales and Dolphins

environment, these are not well documented. We need new research
methods to address these questions (Tyack 1997). Further research on how
cetaceans use sound will provide a fascinating comparative perspective on
how mammalian hearing adapted to the remarkable acoustic properties of
the ocean.
Acknowledgments. The authors would like to thank the following readers
for carefully reviewing the manuscript and making useful suggestions and
criticisms: Whitlow Au, Richard R. Fay, and Arthur Popper. This is Contribution No. 10184 from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
