Sometimes less is more

Whales are singing. Perhaps this is also known and clear, but fewer people know that the vocals are attributable only to male whales. Females also give out sounds, but it sounds like grumbling or moaning. The real whale song comes from the males and we immediately think that with this song they try to lure the females to themselves. Since then, it has turned out that other whales are actually appearing around the male whale song, but they are males. So the callout idea is shot out.

Then do you call the other males to duel?

Scientists already know that the whale's melody (and probably text, content) spreads between male individuals, meaning that younger males have the same "song" as the elderly. However, males who do not belong to the group, but other whales, can take over the song. So there is always a little more, the tune may be different.

Another research has shown that these whales are not always the same and the same. It starts with the simple melody, but since everyone adds, it takes away, copies a little, making it more complicated. When the melody becomes too cumbersome, the song is replaced again with a simple one. It is as if they are already overwhelmed by the overly decorated, difficult and perhaps negative quality version of the melody, so they return to a much simpler one.
