The role of various structures in the head on the formation of the biosonar beam of the baiji (Lipotes vexillifer)

The relative role of the various structures in the head of the baiji (Lipotes vexillifer) is examined. A finite element approach was applied to numerically simulate the acoustic propagation through a dolphin's head to examine the relative role of the skull, air sacs, and melon in the formation...
