Our lab research examines the role of sound on the evolution and ecology of teleost fishes. We seek to better understand how and why fish produce sounds for acoustic communication. We are also focused on characterizing variation in hearing sensitivity among different groups of fishes (vocal and non-vocal species). To accomplish these goals, we are conducting interdisciplinary research on teleost fishes that involves behavioral ecology, ethology, evolutionary morphology, physiology, and biomechanics.
