Remarks on whale cultures from a complex systems perspective

Abstract:
The target article provides stimulating evidence for culture in cetaceans but does not provide a coherent theoretical framework. We argue that a complex, adaptive systems approach not only can provide such a framework but also can contribute advanced data analysis and simulation methods. For humpback whale songs, we suggest the framework of "small-world networks" to model the observed spatio-temporal dynamics.
