A computational framework to characterize and compare the tonal repertoires of toothed whales by Maia Austin, Julie N. Oswald, Manali Rege‐Colt, Emma Gagne, Eric Angel Ramos, Joëlle De Weerdt, Nicola Ransome, Laura J. May‐Collado

“…We favour the application of Hill numbers to measure repertoire size and compositional similarity, as this method addresses uneven sampling. The fuzzy approach used the frequency and temporal features extracted from the traced contours in Luscinia to evaluate repertoire similarity in acoustic structure using the package's built‐in multivariate tools. …”
