Data from Malinidi, Kenya, provided by Michael Mwang’ombe of Kenya Marine Mammal Research & Conservation. Some unusual features here!

Chelonia offers free qualitative assessment of any data submitted to us.

Behaviour, in the form of the distribution of click rates and the structure of click trains, can contribute to the identification of species.

The huge volumes of accurate click rate data delivered by F-PODs are a new resource for these challenges.

These remarkable click trains come from many sources / species but we cannot name a single one!

They are called WUTS = weak unknown train sources, and this was recored by Barbara Merchant and colleagues in the NE Pacific.

New types of instrument / sensor open new research possibilities.

Here, as part of her PhD, Julia Ivanchikova has taken F-POD data collected with colleagues from the BlackCeTrends project and shown how porpoise behaviour is related to the movements of pelagic fish species.

This kind of repeated diel pattern of clicks is known as 'chorusing', but we have very little confidence about what is going on here!
