Chapman and William I. Lutterschmidt m ..."

This book discusses, among many other topics, just how well ..."

Kovacs ... not universal in aquatically territorial species; for example, high vocal activity and long-distance sounds probably have been selected against in the ring seal, to minimize detection by polar bears.
