Our paper on the study of vocal complexity of #orcas is out.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2025.103211
In this #bioacoustics work, we computationally analyse passive acoustic recordings spanning 5 years of orcas in the wild. We perform DL-based automatic classification of calls and measure complexity. Resulting metrics are contrasted to pod sizes, as a way to approach the social complexity hypothesis in #cetaceans
Great collaboration with Paul Best, Marion Poupard, Paul Spong, Helena Symonds and Hervé Glotin
