Xylo, Tom and Paul travel to Portland, OR to attend the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology Meeting. Xylo presents a talk entitled "Investigating acoustic behavior and geographic variation of a cryptic species: the striped cusk-eel" co-authored by Tom and Rachel. Tom presents a talk entitled "Passive acoustic monitoring reveals noise avoidance by a soniferous fish in a global port" co-authored by Xylo, Sydney, and Rachel.

Kobi starts his Ph.D. in Neurobiology at Duke! Congrats Kobi- we will miss you!

Xylo presents their work on comparisons of toadfish and striped cusk eel calling patterns and anthropogenic noise at the "Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life" conference in Prague, Czech Republic

Paul, Kobi and Xylo attend the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology Meeting, Atlanta, GA; Xylo presents “Daily calling patterns of oyster toadfish and striped cusk-eels in urban and non-urban soundscapes” coauthored by Rachel, Adrian, Kara and Tom; Kobi presents “Melatonin regulation of dopamine in the auditory system of a vocal fish” coauthored by Xylo, Yassir, Rachel, Kara and collaborator Joe Sisneros; Paul is the chair and co-organizer for "Sensory biology and behavioral endocrinology of fishes: a special session honoring the work of Karen Maruska" and presents “Beauty in the fish brain: neuroanatomical insights into physiology and behavior.”

Paul gives an invited talk for the Behavioral Ecology, Evolution, & Systematics Seminar, University of Maryland, College Park, MD.

Kobi received a Trainee Professional Development Award from the Society for Neuroscience to present his poster "Localization of dopamine D2a and D1Aa receptor expression in the central auditory system of a vocal fish" at the annual meeting in Chicago. Congratulations Kobi!
