Preferred shallow-water nursery sites provide acoustic crypsis to southern right whale mother–calf pairs
Adaptations to sound production behaviour can reduce the detectability of animal signals by eavesdroppers in a phenomenon known as acoustic crypsis. We propose that acoustic crypsis can include selection of locations that affect how sound transmits through the environment: habitats with poor acousti...
