"Spanning more octaves than a piano, humpback whales sing powerfully into the
vast ocean. These songs are beautifully complex, weaving phrases and themes
into masterful compositions. Blue and fin whales richly fill out a bass section
with their own unique versions of song.

Together, these three species can create a marvellous symphony in the sea.

Published today in PLOS One, our new research reveals these baleen whale
species’ response to major changes in their ecosystem can be heard in their
songs."
