Voorbeelden van cetacean

• But tell me, isn't that the noise cetaceans make when they spurt water from their blowholes? 

• If it was a cetacean, it exceeded in bulk any whale previously classified by science. 

• Old legends even claim that these cetaceans led fishermen to within a mere seven leagues of the North Pole. 

• The cetacean had rammed our frigate at about eleven o'clock in the evening. 

• The enormous head of this cetacean occupies about a third of its body. 

• Not only primates and cetaceans, but also other long-lived mammals, like elephants, have females playing active (crucial) post-reproductive roles.

• There is one behavioural pattern seen in group-living cetaceans that is individually maladaptive but could have arisen within a system of conformist traditions: mass stranding.

• Studies of cetaceans have uncovered a number of patterns of behaviour and vocalizations, which some cetologists have ascribed to cultural processes.

• Although the available evidence is consistent with the notion of culture in cetaceans, caution is warranted due to the many gaps in the data.

• The latter seems to be a feature of dolphins and other cetaceans (exploited in oceanaria shows, where two performers leap and dive together).

• Observations can provide additional insights into the products of culture that are important to cetaceans, as well as into the processes that might be involved.

• Consequently, the implication in the target article that, because cetaceans have vocal traditions, they can learn other motor acts by imitation, is not convincing.

• Culture may be an ancestral characteristic of terrestrial cetacean ancestors; not derived via marine variability, modern cetacean mobility, or any living cetacean social structure.

• First, culture may be an ancestral state predating the cetacean split from their terrestrial ancestors.

• Finally, the authors' account of the evolution of cetacean culture stresses that there are likely to be interesting interactions between migration and culture.

• Such versatility raises the question of how widely social learning is used in less studied species of cetaceans.

• This conclusion is relevant for the broader consideration of what amounts to culture in cetaceans.

• Another difference occurs in the plates relating to the cetaceans.

• Oddly, evidence is viewed differently when produced by cetaceans and birds.

• An experiment could be as simple as introducing interesting artifacts into cetaceans' habitats and observing if (and how) different species interact with them.
