Through-ice communication by Weddell seals may not be practicable
Possible communication between territorial male Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) under the ice with females on the ice was investigated. In-air and underwater recordings... -
Long-term passive acoustic recording from a Prydz Bay deepwater mooring 2005
This dataset contains digitized passive acoustic recordings from a hydrophone connected to an autonomous recording device both moored near the sea-floor in the Southern Ocean.... -
Easily measured call attributes can detect vocal differences between Weddell...
Underwater vocalisations of Weddell seals were recorded at Casey (1997) and Davis (1992 and 1997) Antarctica. The goal of the study was to determine if it would be possible to... -
Weddell seals do not lengthen calls in response to conspecific masking
Some mammalian and avian species alter their vocal communication signals to reduce masking by background noises (including conspecific calls). A preliminary study suggested that... -

Repetition patterns in Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) underwater...
Many vocalisations produced by Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) are made up of repeated individual distinct sounds (elements). Patterning of multiple element calls was... -
Weddell Seal underwater calling rates during the winter and spring near...
During the winter and spring of 2002, underwater calling rates were measured near mid-day on an opportunistic basis at 7 breeding sites and, at two breeding sites, over 24 hour... -

Weddell seal call types made by males and females.
Recordings were made of adult male and female Weddell seals on the ice during the breeding seasons of 1990 and 1997. The recordings were made near Davis, Antarctica in the... -
Geographic variations in underwater male Weddell seal Trills suggest...
Adult Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) exhibit site fidelity to where they first breed but juveniles, and perhaps transient adult males, may disperse from their natal... -
Stereotyped Calling Patterns of a Male Weddell Seal (Leptonychotes weddellii)
From the abstract of the attached paper: Underwater calling behaviour between breathing bouts of a single adult male Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) was examined with... -
