Male acoustic display in the sand goby – Essential cue in female choice, but un...
Blom, Eva-Lotta; Wilson, Joanna R.; Kvarnemo, Charlotta; Amorim, Maria Clara P; Svensson, OlaMany teleost fishes use acoustic and visual signalling during courtship. Such displays may convey information about body condition. Here we experimentally altered body condition of sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus) males to examine effects on acoustic and visual courtship and subsequent spawning decisions. Over two weeks, males fed in excess were fed daily, whereas food-deprived males were fed once a week. Fem...
Continuous but not intermittent noise has a negative impact on mating success i...
Blom, Eva-Lotta; Kvarnemo, Charlotta; Dekhla, Isabelle; Schöld, Sofie; Andersson, Mathias H.; Svensson, Ola; Amorim, Maria Clara PessoaAnthropogenic underwater noise is a global pollutant of increasing concern but its impact on reproduction in fish is largely unknown. Hence, a better understanding of its consequences for this important link to fitness is crucial. Working in aquaria, we experimentally tested the impact of broadband noise exposure (added either continuously or intermittently), compared to a control, on the behaviour and reproduc...
