bottlenose dolphins have been found to have signature whistles, a whistle that is unique to a specific individual. these whistles are used in order for dolphins to communicate with one another by identifying an individual. it can be seen as the dolphin equivalent of a name for humans. these signature whistles are developed during a dolphin's first year; it continues to maintain the same sound throughout its lifetime. an auditory experience influences the whistle development of each dolphin. dolphins are able to communicate to one another by addressing another dolphin through mimicking their whistle. the signature whistle of a male bottlenose dolphin tends to be similar to that of his mother, while the signature whistle of a female bottlenose dolphin tends to be more identifying. bottlenose dolphins have a strong memory when it comes to these signature whistles, as they are able to relate to a signature whistle of an individual they have not encountered for over twenty years. research done on signature whistle usage by other dolphin species is relatively limited. the research on other species done so far has yielded varied outcomes and inconclusive results.
