Structurally divergent sound producing mechanisms in a clade of arioid catfishes function in different behavioral contexts
KAATZ, I.M.: Structurally divergent sound producing mechanisms in a clade of arioid catfishes function in different behavioral contexts Of the over 400 teleost fish families, 23% are known to have evolved two or more structurally and acoustically different sound producing mechanisms (SPMs). What is the functional significance of these independently derived SPMs? Structurally different SPMs […]
