November 2007 Cover

The November issue includes startling new research suggesting that some bird and whale species may communicate to one another within the silences of their calls. The featured essay wonders if beaked whales, deemed by researchers as very rare, and yet often killed by sonar, may actually be not so rare after all. They may have developed behaviors to avoid humans.
