Dear MARMAMERS - Please see the announcement below of our new integrative review of cetacean intelligence. PLoS is an on-line public-access journal and you can go to the website for the full article. Thanks, Lori Marino A group of eminent cetacean researchers respond to headlines charging that dolphins might be "flippin' idiots". They examine behavioural, anatomical and evolutionary data to conclude that the large brain of cetaceans evolved to support complex cognitive abilities.
