Study results on whale song suggest that the consensus response to the question of why humpbacks sing is wrong. The whales don’t sing to attract a mate (reproductive hypothesis), according to Eduardo Mercado III, a UB professor of psychology. They’re singing to find other whales (sonar hypothesis), using mechanisms within their songs that may be comparable to those at work in the eyes of land animals as they examine their environment. “[This isn’t a] feather in the sonar hypothesis cap? It’s more like an arrow through the chest of the reproductive display hypothesis,” says Mercado.

Studies suggest that exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with a variety of different mental health consequences including reports of depression, loneliness, and insomnia. People who are more than 65 years of age and those with underlying medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes and obesity are particularly vulnerable to negative outcomes from COVID-19. Until now, few investigations have identified and separated the mental health consequences of exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic from preexisting factors in this age group. A new prospective study of a large cohort of older adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity from across the U.S. has explored this subject with surprising results.
