Description:We read ‘Whistling is metabolically cheap for communicating bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)’ by Pedersen et al. (2020) and were concerned to see how our results (Noren et al., 2013; Holt et al., 2015) were presented. This was especially surprising, given our previous feedback to the authors (see acknowledgements, Pedersen et al., 2020). Although Pedersen et al. claim their work disproves our findings, their methods were not designed to accurately measure the low metabolic cost (MC) of whistle production. In fact, the differing conclusions are explained by differences in methods and interpretation of the findings.
