“…It has been suggested that the protection of calves through alloparental care improves the reproductive success of dolphins [Wells, 2003] and sperm whales [Whitehead, 1996]. Belugas may similarly benefit, considering that their sociality has been deemed comparable to these two species [e.g., Recchia, 1994]. It has also been proposed that the protection of calves through alloparental care is a strong evolutionary influence for social living in female sperm whales [Arnbom and Whitehead, 1989] and may be one of the driving forces for sociality in belugas as well.…”

“…Whistles were the most common calls, comprising about two-thirds of the sample. Recchia (1994) conducted a systematic quantitative analysis and categorization of the vocal repertoire of captive beluga whales. She found a much lower proportion of tonal signals, about 20%.…”

“…Amongst the toothed whales, perhaps the best documented communication system is that of the beluga Delphinapterus leucas, in which 80% of calls may be pulsive ͑Sjare and Smith, 1986;Recchia, 1994͒. Click-based repertoires from two other odontocete species have also been documented: the Hector's dolphin Cephalorhyncus hectori ͑Daw-son and Thorpe, 1990͒ and the sperm whale Physeter macrocephalus ͑Gordon, 1987͒.…”
