TLDR
Playback experiments with wild bottlenose dolphins suggest that signature whistles are used for individual recognition, and it is predicted that mothers would respond more strongly to the whistles of their own independent offspring than to the whistle of a familiar, similar-aged nonoffspring.About:

Pseudoreplication in playback experiments, revisited a decade later
TL;DR: Kroodsma et al. as discussed by the authors surveyed the experimental designs used in 50 papers published during the last several years to answer the question "What effect did the debate and subsequent consensus report have on the quality of experimental design used in animal behaviour?"
Journal ArticleDOI
Signature whistle shape conveys identity information to bottlenose dolphins.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bottlenose dolphins extract identity information from signature whistles even after all voice features have been removed from the signal, ensuring that dolphins are the only animals other than humans that have been shown to transmit identity information independent of the caller's voice or location.

Sociality: The Behaviour of Group-Living Animals
TL;DR: In Animal Social Behaviour as discussed by the authors, the authors integrate the most up-to-date empirical and theoretical research to provide a new synthesis of the field, which is aimed at fellow researchers and postgraduate students on the topic.

Effects of watercraft noise on the acoustic behavior of bottlenose dolphins, tursiops truncatus, in sarasota bay, florida
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the circumstances under which watercraft traffic may impact the acoustic behavior of this community, specifically looking for short-term changes in whistle frequency range, duration, and rate of production.

The Evolution of Cooperation
TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy in the context of the Prisoner's Dilemma game was developed for cooperation in organisms, and the results of a computer tournament showed how cooperation based on reciprocity can get started in an asocial world, can thrive while interacting with a wide range of other strategies, and can resist invasion once fully established.

The Evolution of Reciprocal Altruism
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is presented to account for the natural selection of what is termed reciprocally altruistic behavior, and the model shows how selection can operate against the cheater (non-reciprocator) in the system.

Pseudoreplication and the Design of Ecological Field Experiments
TL;DR: Suggestions are offered to statisticians and editors of ecological journals as to how ecologists' under- standing of experimental design and statistics might be improved.

The analysis of contingency tables
TL;DR: Contingency tables and the chi-square test as mentioned in this paper are two types of contingency tables, i.e., 2 x 2 and r x c. Contingency table.
The sonar of dolphins
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the performance of the Sonar of Bats and Dolphin Sonar Signals with the performance provided by the active Sonar Signal Processing Model (SSPM).
