A University at Buffalo psychologist has proposed in a newly published paper that humpback whales may use song for long-range sonar. It's the singing whale, not the listening whale who is doing most of the analysis, according to Eduardo Mercado III. If he's right, Mercado says his model should change the direction of how we study whales.
