This unique volume presents recent findings concerning the biological and behavioral aspects of the killer whale, Orcinus orca. The 16 chapters are organized into three sections, with an overview and conclusion. Section I treats the evolution and natural history of the killer whale, including coverage of taxonomy, population structure, and feeding behavior. Section II discusses the behavior and social groupings of Orcinus orca, including coverage of behavioral and respiratory synchronization, cohesive relationships, and behavioral ontogeny. Section III examines vocalizations and communication, looking, in particular, at sound and behavioral correlations in captives, sequences, periodicity, behavioral correlates, and an automated technique for call classification.
