Should Comparative Models Be Weighted when Accounting for Phylogenetic Uncertainty? - Evolutionary Biology
Phylogenies are a foundation for studies of phenotypic evolution, but sometimes phylogenetic reconstruction is poorly supported. To account for phylogenetic uncertainty, it is advisable to run compara...

Weighting comparative models by Akaike weights (w) reliably improves accuracy under phylogenetic uncertainty. Benefits are greatest when tree quality varies, highlighting w as a robust method for enhancing phylogenetic comparative analyses.

Tests in seabass and seabream reveal that standard signs of insensibility often fail to match brain activity. Only the ventilation reflex tracked neural responses reliably. Electrical stunning led to fast recovery, signalling major welfare issues and the need for improved, species-validated methods.

This study shows that Lusitanian toadfish sharpen their hearing as they grow. Juveniles and adults differ in resolving temporal and amplitude features of calls, revealing clear ontogenetic improvement in decoding social acoustic signals.

Auditory representation of conspecific calls improves throughout ontogeny in a singing fish | Biology Letters
A central question in understanding acoustic communication systems is how auditory
processing develops relative to vocal differentiation. While the development of auditory
processing of conspecific vo...
