These sounds are used for echolocation and communication. The clicks can be very powerful, up to 223 dB re 1\u00b5Pa \/ 1m, the most intense biological source ever recorded.<br>Normally, the sperm whale emits regular sequences of clicks (<strong>usual clicks<\/strong>) with which it explores the environment in search of potential prey.<br>Sometimes, the clicks change rate, accelerating to an interval of between 5 and 100 milliseconds from one click to the next. In this case, the vocalization is called a <strong>creak<\/strong> and can be emitted either at depth or at the surface. During the dive phase, the acceleration of clicks is interpreted as the sperm whale's attempt to focus on its identified prey and is therefore used as an index of feeding activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-8ebceba\" data-block-id=\"8ebceba\"><style>.stk-8ebceba{border-style:solid !important;border-color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#bbcfde) !important}<\/style><figure class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-3462\" src=\"http:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Pm_codacreacks.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Pm_codacreacks.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Pm_codacreacks-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Pm_codacreacks-1024x433.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Pm_codacreacks-768x324.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Pm_codacreacks-1536x649.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-a06e37b\" data-block-id=\"a06e37b\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-align-center\"><strong>Spectrogram of coda-creaks of sperm whale<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Creaks emitted at the surface appear to have a shorter duration and a more constant interval between clicks; depending on the authors, they have been termed <strong>coda-creaks<\/strong> or <strong>chirrups<\/strong>.

Clans are sympatric (share the same territory), can contain thousands of sperm whales, and be distributed over thousands of kilometers. The acoustic repertoire of codas is culturally transmitted within the smallest module of sperm whale social structure, the social unit or family group composed of adult females and immature individuals of both sexes. Several patterns of codas have been recorded in the oceans.<br>Some types of codas appear to be common to different areas, and for a long time it was believed that the (3+1) pattern was the only existing type in the Mediterranean, although, on a few occasions, other codas were recorded. In the study area, the 3+1 pattern codas is well represented, however, the presence of several different patterns, suggests a more diverse repertoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-055b5f1\" data-block-id=\"055b5f1\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-f508a9d\" data-block-id=\"f508a9d\"><a class=\"stk-link stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\" href=\"http:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SCHEDA-AVVISTAMENTO-CETACEI.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-3771\" src=\"http:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bnr-1024x201-1.png\" width=\"1024\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bnr-1024x201-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bnr-1024x201-1-300x59.png 300w, https:\/\/oceanomaredelphis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bnr-1024x201-1-768x151.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capodoglio Regno: AnimaliaPhylum: ChordataClasse: MammaliaOrdine: CetartiodactylaInfraordine: CetaceaParvordine: OdontocetiFamiglia: PhyseteridaeGenere: PhyseterSpecie: Physeter macrocephalus (Linnaeus 1758) Descrizione Il capodoglio \u00e8 il pi\u00f9 grande degli Odontoceti, con una lunghezza media di 18 metri e un peso di 50 tonnellate.
