A decade-long, multicontinent study suggests that acoustic defense strategies are more common among moths than previously imagined.

Sounds made by more than 50 vertebrates previously thought to be mute push back the origin of this type of communication by at least 100 million years, a study finds.

The roar of nearby boat engines alters how fish care for and protect their young, resulting in fewer successful nests and smaller offspring, a study finds.

Once thought to be silent, fish turn out to produce a range of vocalizations—so polluting the oceans with noise could pose a danger to them.

Avoidance of predation is a driving force behind the daily movements of marine creatures across the food web, a study concludes.

Recent findings buck the traditional idea that embryos are passive agents and instead suggest that by tuning into vibrations, organisms can better prepare to enter the outside world.

By analyzing how fin whale calls bounce off the seafloor, scientists can recreate ocean crust layers.

A team of scientists searching for a rare species of whale instead found a species of whale they say has never been recorded.

Norris, who founded the research firm Bio-Waves, furthered the study of marine mammals using passive acoustic monitoring technology he designed himself.

Zebra finches sing a special song that appears to help their offspring better adapt to a hotter climate, according to a study.

Researchers measure the health of Papua New Guinea’s forests by analyzing the ecological soundscape.

Travel to remote rain forests in Papua New Guinea with researchers from The Nature Conservancy who are working with native people to characterize ecosystems there using sound.

Watch the coelacanth documentary that fish biologist Eric Parmentier and filmmaker Laurent Ballesta were making when they discovered and recorded a world of undersea sound.

An oceanic quacking sound—unidentified for 50 years—turns out to be minke whales.

Seafloor seismometers record hundreds of thousands of fin whale calls, allowing marine geophysicists to track the elusive marine mammals.

A geophysicist stumbled on a way to track elusive fin whales with seismometers.
