Differences in pectoral fin spine morphology between vocal and silent clades of catfishes (Order Siluriformes): Ecomor-phological implications
Stridulatory sound-producing behavior is widespread across catfish families, but some are silent. To understand why, we compared spine morphology and ecotype of silent and vocal clades. We determined vocal ability of laboratory specimens during disturbance behavior. Vocal families had bony (not flex...
