Dolphin communication refers to the various methods and systems that dolphins use to convey information to one another. This includes a combination of vocalizations—such as clicks, whistles, and pulsed sounds—as well as body language, echolocation, and social behaviors. Dolphins are known for their complex social structures and exhibit a range of vocal sounds that can indicate different meanings, such as distress, proximity, or social bonding. Their communication is often studied to understand their social interactions, navigation, and hunting strategies. Researchers have found that dolphins can mimic sounds, suggesting a sophisticated level of vocal learning and potentially complex social communication. The study of dolphin communication also provides insights into the cognitive abilities of these marine mammals and their capacity for social interaction.
Dolphins exhibit a complex, nuanced communication system through clicks and whistles, comparable to human language. Recent bioacoustic research highlights dolphins' ability to use signature whistles that function similarly to names.…
