In acidic oceans, sound carries further
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 month 2 weeks (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)
It seems that as the oceans grow more acidic with all this atmospheric CO2, sounds begin to travel longer distances before they dissipate. Despite what one might think, this is not good news for whales and dolphins, which use sound to communicate and travel. Military sonar can already disrupt cetacean behavior as much as five hundred kilometers away. If things continue at the current rate, then by 2050, these sounds will travel 70% further in some parts of the Atlantic. 
Marine biologists interpret whale sounds

The splashes, barks and grunts of baleen whales carry much more meaning than biologists thought, according to the latest survey of the marine mammals.
The scientists behind the study say that these noises could be the ideal characteristics for conservationists to monitor to understand the growing impact of noises made by humans on the underwater environment.

Once hunted to the brink of extinction, humpback whales have made a dramatic comeback in the North Pacific Ocean over the past four decades...
Whales may have evolved from raccoon-sized creature

In the search for a missing evolutionary link to modern whales, scientists have come up with an unlikely land cousin -- a raccoon-sized creature with the body of a small deer.
Long-Lost Relative of Whales Found?

A group of paleontologists has identified what they believe is the closest relative of whales, dolphins, and porpoises--an extinct, raccoon-sized creature that sloshed along river bottoms and could have eaten like a landlubber. The find promises to give scientists a better idea of where whales and their ilk came from.
Marine mammals boost brain oxygen supply

Marine mammals have an uncanny ability to remain awake and alert while holding their breath during long dives. New research shows that this might be thanks to high concentrations of oxygen-binding proteins in the brain. The proteins, called globins, could help these mammals to remain active long after blood oxygen levels sink low enough to cause a human to black out.
Unique orca hunting technique documented

Some Antarctic orcas use the cunning tactic of regularly hunting in packs and making waves to wash seals off floating ice, researchers have confirmed.

The Cuvier's beaked whale is a master of the ocean's crushing depths. It can dive as deep as 2 kilometers in search of prey, the deepest known for any mammal. So scientists have been at a loss to explain why, in response to naval sonar testing, this champion cetacean sometimes succumbs to the same decompression sickness that afflicts scuba divers. A new mathematical model suggests that, by replicating the sounds of a predator, sonar forces the whale to adopt a risky diving pattern.
Marine worms chow down on cow bones

Weird whale-bone eaters can survive on more than just whale. Now it seems that several species of the Osedax worm can dine on cow carcasses as well.
Endangered porpoise worse off than thought

A new study report the world’s most critically endangered marine mammal — a porpoise that lives off the western coast of Mexico — is closer to extinction than previously believed.
Many species are under the same condition, after reading this text, readers should ptevent the damage to these species.
Aussie boffins translate whale chat
jane2007 submitted, created time 1 year 1 week (www.theregister.co.uk)
Aussie think they've managed to decode a bit of what the humpback whale are saying to each other. The researchers have clearly identified the sounds of a mother issuing a warning to her calf, and of a male trying his luck with the ladies. The team identified plenty of other sounds, some of which seem to have multiple meanings, but found that others, like the warning and the come-on, were much more specific.

A large white mammal, possibly one of the China's rare baiji dolphins, proclaimed extinct just weeks ago, was sighted in the Yangtze River and videotaped. Heartening though this is, the article leaves out one important idea:
Scientists have said, even while they were searching for surviving dolphins, that even if a few individuals remained, they would not be enough to preserve the species.
