Preliminary work shows that they do produce sounds during the breeding season.
Future work will include examination of species-specific signals and location of spawning areas in natural habitats. To hear this signal click the play button below. My lab is working on understanding the evolution of acoustic signals in North American minnows, as well as understanding the functional significance of these sounds. With Steve Vivies, I have recorded sounds in Codoma ornata as part of my effort to understand the evolution of signal production in this group.
