Overview

Observational analysis reveals leisure boating alters signature whistles in bottlenose dolphins, suggesting behavioral indicators of disturbance.

Key Points

  • Certain signature whistle characteristics are consistently affected by leisure boating presence.
  • Findings show alterations in acoustic behavior across various environmental and social contexts.
  • The study highlights potential for signature whistles to serve as reliable bioindicators of human disturbance.
  • Further research is needed to expand these findings in different marine environments and dolphin populations.
