Inside every fish ear there are tiny bones called otoliths that contribute to the fish's hearing & now @EricParmentier7 & co reveal that one of these bones, the sagitta, also contributes to the fish's sense of balance 🧵1/2

Synthesis: from hand-held to mobbing, aggressive & social signalling sounds in holocentrid fishes 🐠
Excited to share my new paper that has been awarded one of the Annual Prizes 2024 by the Société Royale des Sciences de Liège! 🎉😊👇

@MarineBanse@DavidLecchi@fred_bertucci@UniversiteLiege Amazing study based on the manual analysis of more than 7000 sounds from 33 different species collected in French Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Seychelles, Guam and Philippines!!! Really nice job.
Large scale acoustical analysis on Holocentridae 🐠🔊🎧 challenges the species-specific character of sounds in fishes but reveals that sounds can reflect broader taxonomic levels !

Analysis of otolith shapes in 697 species. Nice results! Strong correlation between otolith shape and that of the sulcus, suggesting that the otolith plays a key role in amplifying the forces exerted on the sensory cells of the sulcus.@UniversiteLiegedx.doi.org/10.1093/biolin…

Explore the acoustic communication abilities of holocentrid fish! Our recent research reveals that these fish use sound to indicate their refusal or termination of symbiotic interactions with cleaner fish. rdcu.be/dH33t@MarineBanse@UniversiteLiege
