SPECIAL ISSUE: FISH BIOACOUSTICS

Researchers explored documented acoustic behaviors in marine, subtropical fishes and potential influences affecting their relative pervasiveness. doi.org/10.1121/10.002…

Bioacoustics is now part of the World Register of Marine Species! A momentous effort by 19 authors from 6 countries.

A group from GLUBS and FishSounds.net—involving 19 authors across 6 countries—collaborated with WoRMS to create an inventory of species confirmed or expected to produce sound underwater. See the new Looby et al., 2023 to learn more! doi.org/10.1038/s41597…

So thrilled about the successes of FishSounds Educate this year!! None of this would have been possible without the FishSounds team’s dedication and passion for science communication 🐟💙 Hailey Davies Kieran Cox, Ph.D Sarah Vela and Audrey Looby

A new study led by Kieran Cox examines the Canadian military’s efforts to reduce the impacts of underwater noise pollution on species during training exercises in the Pacific Ocean but caveat that more can still be done.

We've looking for a postdoc to be based at UBC (Parfrey Lab).

The project will focus on microbial symbionts as a tool for assessing ecosystem health in the Salish Sea. [deadline extended to Dec. 15]
