New research on the role of vocal cues in elephant seals!

New research by UC Santa Cruz Researcher Colleen Reichmuth and graduate student Caroline Casey give us a glimpse into the acoustic world of male elephant seals!  Their work is an extension of a project done by Burney LeBoeuf many years ago when the Ano Nuevo elephant seal colony was quite young.
