vibration and Noise pollution in benthic animals

Vibrational disturbances and noise pollution caused by anthropogenic activities can act as significant stressors for marine benthic animals. Our research focuses on understanding how vibration and underwater noise influence the behavior, communication, and physiological responses of these organisms.

Our main research topics include:

• Responses of ghost crabs to vibration

• Responses of crabs to acoustic stimuli

• Responses of Manila clams to acoustic exposure

• Physiological responses of fiddler crabs to vibration

• Behavioral responses of fiddler crabs to vibration

• Drumming communication in fiddler crabs
