“…This observation is further confirmed by the sound features, which align with holocentrid sounds recorded in previous studies 21 , 24 – 26 . The cleaner fish, on the other hand, did not produce any sounds, consistent with observations that members of that family (Labridae) do not encompass many vocal species 25 , 40 . These findings were consistent across a vast geographic area (French Polynesia, Seychelles, Guam, and Philippines) and were based on observations from 64 videos (and 190 interactions) featuring various client fish and cleaners.…”

Examples of symbiotic relationships often include cleaning mutualisms, typically involving interactions between cleaner fish and other fish, called the clients. While these cleaners can cooperate by removing ectoparasites from their clients, they can also deceive by feeding on client mucus, a behavior usually referred to as “cheating behavior” that often leads to a discernible jolt from the client fish. Despite extensive studies of these interactions, most research has focused on the visual aspects of the communication. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of acoustic communication in the mutualistic relationship between cleaner fishes and nine holocentrid client species across four regions of the Indo-Pacific Ocean: French Polynesia, Guam, Seychelles, and the Philippines. Video cameras coupled with hydrophones were positioned at various locations on reefs housing Holocentridae fish to observe their acoustic behaviors during interactions. Our results indicate that all nine species of holocentrids can use acoustic signals to communicate to cleaner fish their refusal of the symbiotic interaction or their desire to terminate the cooperation. These sounds were predominantly observed during agonistic behavior and seem to support visual cues from the client. This study provides a novel example of acoustic communication during a symbiotic relationship in teleosts. Interestingly, these vocalizations often lacked a distinct pattern or structure. This contrasts with numerous other interspecific communication systems where clear and distinguishable signals are essential. This absence of a clear acoustic pattern may be because they are used in interspecific interactions to support visual behavior with no selective pressure for developing specific calls required in conspecific recognition. The different sound types produced could also be correlated with the severity of the client response. There is a need for further research into the effects of acoustic behaviors on the quality and dynamics of these mutualistic interactions.

“…There are differences in the mechanisms of sound production in different organisms [ 44 ], and in most animals studied for sound production, males have historically been the main sex studied, and they are thought to be the group that primarily uses sound signals [ 45 ]. Bussmann’s findings underscore the potential and importance of future research on vocal communication in neglected taxa and in both sexes [ 46 ].…”

The purpose of this study was to identify the main research themes and knowledge structures in the field of urban soundscape. With the continuous expansion of research work in the field of urban soundscape, it has become necessary to carry out a systematic analysis. CiteSpace was used to conduct an information visualization analysis of high-quality literature related to urban soundscape research in the WoS database from 1976 to 2021. The results revealed the following: (1) In terms of research content, research hotspots center on noise, perception, and quality, while focusing on theory and methodology. (2) In terms of research methods, the Perceptual Restorative Soundscape Scale has gradually become the main method of soundscape research. With the development of sound acquisition technology and sound simulation technology, the soundscape perception model will undergo an iterative process of updating. (3) In terms of research objects, most of the research focuses on the soundscape of outdoor environments (such as urban parks, tourist attractions, and historical blocks) together with the influences and preferences for different types of soundscapes. The research results can provide reference for research and planning as well as the design practice of urban soundscape.

“…The STFT was first used to study animal sounds in 1971 (Coutlee, 1971 ), and has since become a ubiquitous feature of research in bioacoustics (Baotic et al., 2014 ; Boucher et al., 2020 ; Bussmann et al., 2021 ; Cazau et al., 2016 ; Davenport et al., 2022 ; Dutour et al., 2021 ; Gonzalo‐Tarodo et al., 2020 ; Jégh‐Czinege et al., 2020 ; Leroy et al., 2021 ; Malige et al., 2020 ; Mann et al., 2021 ; McDonald et al., 2009 ; Odom et al., 2021 ; Stoeger et al., 2014 ; Teixeira et al., 2022 ; Thode et al., 2017 ); however, the TF bias is rarely discussed in the bioacoustics literature. TF analysis is used widely in engineering, where it is generally acknowledged that this bias imposes a limit on the STFT spectrogram's accuracy when applied to complex signals, especially at low frequencies.…”

“…Many of these fields have adopted other methods. While there has been at least one study highlighting the issues with the STFT spectrogram in the study of animal sounds (Brumm et al., 2017 ), this remains the most common method in the biological sciences (Baotic et al., 2014 ; Benko & Perc, 2009 ; Bonnefond et al., 2020 ; Bussmann et al., 2021 ; Cazau et al., 2016 ; Davenport et al., 2022 ; Dutour et al., 2021 ; Forti et al., 2017 ; Gonzalo‐Tarodo et al., 2020 ; Jégh‐Czinege et al., 2020 ; Leroy et al., 2021 ; Malige et al., 2020 ; Mann et al., 2021 ; Maruska & Mensinger, 2009 ; McDonald et al., 2009 ; Nelson et al., 2011 ; Odom et al., 2021 ; Rice & Bass, 2009 ; Salas et al., 2018 ; Staniewicz et al., 2023 ; Stoeger et al., 2014 ; Sueur et al., 2011 ; Teixeira et al., 2022 ; Thode et al., 2017 ).…”

BASSA: New software tool reveals hidden details in visualisation of low‐frequency animal sounds

The study of animal sounds in biology and ecology relies heavily upon time–frequency (TF) visualisation, most commonly using the short‐time Fourier transform (STFT) spectrogram. This method, however, has inherent bias towards either temporal or spectral details that can lead to misinterpretation of complex animal sounds. An ideal TF visualisation should accurately convey the structure of the sound in terms of both frequency and time, however, the STFT often cannot meet this requirement. We evaluate the accuracy of four TF visualisation methods (superlet transform [SLT], continuous wavelet transform [CWT] and two STFTs) using a synthetic test signal. We then apply these methods to visualise sounds of the Chagos blue whale, Asian elephant, southern cassowary, eastern whipbird, mulloway fish and the American crocodile. We show that the SLT visualises the test signal with 18.48%–28.08% less error than the other methods. A comparison between our visualisations of animal sounds and their literature descriptions indicates that the STFT's bias may have caused misinterpretations in describing pygmy blue whale songs and elephant rumbles. We suggest that use of the SLT to visualise low‐frequency animal sounds may prevent such misinterpretations. Finally, we employ the SLT to develop ‘BASSA’, an open‐source, GUI software application that offers a no‐code, user‐friendly tool for analysing short‐duration recordings of low‐frequency animal sounds for the Windows platform. The SLT visualises low‐frequency animal sounds with improved accuracy, in a user‐friendly format, minimising the risk of misinterpretation while requiring less technical expertise than the STFT. Using this method could propel advances in acoustics‐driven studies of animal communication, vocal production methods, phonation and species identification.
