    New Study: Machine Learning Reveals That Elephant Choruses Encode Behavior

    New research from Earth Species Project and ElephantVoices reveals how machine learning can uncover behavioral information in overlapping elephant rumbles, including greetings, contact, and coordinated movement. The study also found that elephants’ calls become more acoustically similar during certain social interactions, offering new insights into how they communicate and coordinate.
