Key Points

Killer whales exhibit aversive behavior in response to sounds from long-finned pilot whales, indicating potential interspecies interactions.
Key evidence shows that recorded sounds led to significant behavioral changes in killer whales during the study.
Observational analysis of compliance to vocalizations from long-finned pilot whales highlighted changes in killer whale behavior.
Understanding these aversive responses may help in formulating conservation strategies for marine mammals.
