This study shows that Lusitanian toadfish sharpen their hearing as they grow. Juveniles and adults differ in resolving temporal and amplitude features of calls, revealing clear ontogenetic improvement in decoding social acoustic signals.

Auditory representation of conspecific calls improves throughout ontogeny in a singing fish | Biology Letters
A central question in understanding acoustic communication systems is how auditory
processing develops relative to vocal differentiation. While the development of auditory
processing of conspecific vo...

An analysis of songs from 1000+ passerine species shows that peak amplitude usually occurs near the middle of a species’ frequency range. Species with unusually high song frequencies evolved traits that help offset size-based vocal constraints.

The evolution of extreme sound frequencies in bird songs
Abstract. Bird songs differ widely among species and can show peculiar phenotypes, such as extreme or unusual sound frequencies for a species’ body size. A

The second best student talk also received an honorable mention: Antony Pieters with the work " The influence of calf-initiated behaviors on common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) group
dynamics along the South coast of Portugal"
Well done and congratulations 🥳🥳
