Bioacoustics of Monterey Bay Pinnipeds: Extraction of Information from Acoustic Signals

Abstract

Two doctoral students at UCSC were supported by this ASSERT award. The students participated in an ongoing ONR funded research program on the bioacoustics of pinnipeds while developing and carrying out complementary independent investigations. During the award period, both students received specialized training in animal psychophysics, experimental design, and acoustic instrumentation and measurement. Both students completed and published significant original research related to sensory biology, communication, and cognition in seals and sea lions. Their concurrent participation in the primary ONE funded research program improved productivity and efficiency. The technical and research skills developed by the students while supported by this grant will be useful to independent and government supported research agencies.
