Acoustic classification of dolphins in the California Current using whistles, echolocation clicks, and burst pulses

Passive acoustic monitoring of dolphins is limited by our ability to classify calls to species. Significant overlap in call characteristics among many species, combined with a wide range of call types and acoustic behavior, makes classification of calls to species challenging. Here, we introduce BANTER , a compound acoustic classification method for dolphins that utilizes information from all call types produced by dolphins rather than a single...
