Sound production in the Ponto-Caspian gobyNeogobius fluviatilisand acoustic affinities within theGobiuslineage: implications for phylogeny

Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe the vocal repertoire of the Ponto-Caspian goby Neogobius fluviatilis and to compare the acoustic properties of this species with those of other soniferous Mediterranean gobies belonging to the Gobius lineage. Vocalizations and associated behaviours were recorded under controlled aquarium conditions in female and male N. fluviatilis. Sound emission was elicited by means of 'intruder tests', using an individual of the same or opposite sex as an intruder, and recording sounds… Show more

“…Few studies have discussed call diversity and evolution in closely related fish species. In some Gobiidae, Batrachoididae and Pomacentridae, characteristics of the acoustic signals and similarities between the sound-producing mechanisms support affinities between different groups of species16192021. However, calls of the different taxa provide different kinds of information and are not necessarily produced in the same behavioural context.…”

“…However, calls in clownfish are not used during courtship periods but only during agonistic interactions15 meaning there is no sexual selection based on call features. In the Mediterranean gobies, call diversification is more important since related species show less overlap of their call features and have even developed different kinds of calls, i.e., pulsatile, tonal and complex sounds2021. Sounds are used in reproductive contexts meaning the selective forces driving the diversification are more important.…”

“…Experiments were set up according to the protocol provided by Horvatić et al . () to record reproductive (male–female) or aggressive interactions (male–male). We used an acoustic intruder test, during which the fish was left in the observational tank for acclimatization (10–15 days) to establish territoriality.…”

“…Gobioid fishes (phylogeny according to Thacker, ) form one of the most investigated Teleost groups in terms of vocal repertoire. Within this group, acoustic communication has been documented in 23 species (Horvatić et al ., ; Zeyl et al ., ). In general, gobioid sound emission occurs during agonistic and reproductive contexts.…”
