sing a repetitive song that is learned socially. It consists of structures that are similar to notes and symphonies of classical music.

To determine if these themes or songs had traveled further, she teamed up with researchers at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador and collected sound data from the region as well as from French Polynesia between the years 2016 and 2018. They then performed similarity analyses on these recordings to determine how alike the two songs were.
To their surprise, the researchers found that three separate songs appeared in Polynesia waters in 2016 and then in Ecuador in 2018, suggesting that the songs were traveling eastwards.
Working with other research groups, Garland is currently exploring if song transmission can be traced further than the South Pacific basin. There is a high likelihood that it can be, paving the way for a "circumpolar Southern Hemisphere cultural transmission of song and a vocal culture," which otherwise is assumed to exist in human civilization.
