A recent study sheds light on the mechanisms of sound production in boxfishes, revealing a fascinating evolutionary transition between mute and vocal species.
From the living world to the Universe, from space technologies to theoretical chemistry, these prizes highlight the breadth of research conducted within the Faculty of Science.
C’est au coucher du soleil que les poissons récifaux sont les plus bavards. Il s’agit là d’un des résultats marquants d’une étude acoustique menée en Polynésie française par l’équipe du professeur Eric Parmentier.
PhD student Marine Banse is interested in sound communication in fish and its role in species evolution.
An episode (FRENCH) of the "Science Bestiale" channel that delves deep into the research of Marine Banse, marine biologist at the Functional and Evolutionary Morphology Laboratory.
PODCAST IN FRENCH -A new episode focusing on the challenges of preserving our oceans in the face of climate, ecological and legal crises. We discuss this with Aïda Alvera, Eric Parmentier and Philippe Vincent.
This discovery challenges the idea that these animals are mute. The sounds made - by the teeth of the upper jaws rubbing against those of the lower jaws - could represent a primitive form of warning signal.
François Beaufay, Şftefan Marincea, Xavier Raick, and Lauriane Soret, researchers from the Faculty of Sciences, are among the fifteen laureates of the Science Class awards of the Royal Academy of Belgium.
These results offer new prospects for future research into defence and communication mechanisms in the animal kingdom.
A study that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of fish defence mechanisms through acoustic communication.
Researchers from the University of Liège's Functional and Evolutionary Morphology Laboratory, taking part in the project, will be helping to deploy monitoring platforms.
A ground-breaking discovery that could change our understanding of skeletal muscle contraction.
