On behalf of my co-authors, I am happy to announce the publication of our new article regarding the vocal behaviour of humpback whales near the Vema Seamount. This article is open access and available athttps:// asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/10.0010072 Reference: Ross-Marsh, E.C., Elwen, S.H., Fearey, J., Thompson, K.F., Maack, T. and Gridley, T., 2022. Detection of humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) non-song vocalizations around the Vema Seamount, southeast Atlantic Ocean. JASA Express Letters, 2(4), p.041201. Abstract: Humpback whales are a cosmopolitan, highly vocal species. Investigated here are their vocalizations recorded at the Vema Seamount (31°38′S, 08°20′E) from moored hydrophones in the austral spring of 2019. During the 11-d recording period over 600 non-song calls were detected. Calls were predominantly detected at night over three consecutive days. The most common calls were low, frequency-modulated sounds (whups). An impulsive sound (gunshot) previously unknown in humpback whales was also detected. The location and timing of the calls suggests that humpback whales may be using the Vema Seamount as a temporary stop on their migration to their polar feeding grounds.
