Diversity in Fish Auditory Systems: One of the Riddles of Sensory Biology (2016, background): “Pelagic coral reef fish larvae (of the families Trypterigiidae, Pomacentridae, Apogonidae, Gobiidae, Lethrinidae) orient to loudspeakers playing back reef noise (Tolimieri et al., 2000; Simpson et al., 2008; Radford et al., 2011).”
Juvenile coral reef fish use sound to locate habitats (2011, methodology): “Previous research has shown that some juvenile and adult coral reef fish will preferentially relocate to experimental patch reefs broadcasting sound from coral reef habitat versus patch reefs without broadcast sound (Simpson et al. 2008b).”
Soundscapes and living communities in coral reefs: Temporal and spatial variation (2015, background): “Considering that settlement-stage larval fish are attracted to the higher frequency component of reef noise encompassed in snapping shrimp sounds (Simpson et al. 2008), dead coral habitats harbouring snapping shrimp may be larval population sinks.”
Emerging opportunities and challenges for passive acoustics in ecological assessment and monitoring (2018, background): “…soundscape analysis, for instance, in studies of reef phenology (McWilliam, McCauley, Erbe, & Parsons, 2017), the use of acoustic cues by fish (Simpson et al., 2008), mapping biotic sound across oceanic habitats (Nedelec et al., 2015), and development of biodiversity indicators (Sueur et al.,…”
Coral reef species assemblages are associated with ambient soundscapes (2015, background): “Thus, low-389 frequency sounds on reefs will likely be of higher relevance as a settlement cue than high 390 frequencies (cf. Simpson et al. 2008), where sound production may not be as closely linked to 391 habitat quality.”
Acoustic behaviors in Hawaiian coral reef fish communities (2014, background): “Further work should focus on determining the sources and spectrum of nocturnal fish sounds that may provide sensory cues to larval fish for recruitment (Simpson et al. 2008) and vary across reef habitats and diel periods (Radford et al. 2014).”
