PRESENTATION

There is a great potential to develop research studies in animal behavior, and more specifically in the area of sound communication in the Neotropics. Research in this area has helped in our understandings of different areas such as physiology and learning processes, sound production and communication in different organisms and its analogy in human beings. It has also given information on natural history for several groups of organisms that may be applied in taxonomy and systematic, cognitive processes, among others.

Objetivos específicos

• Introduce students to bioacoustics and animal learning and communication concepts.
  
• Practical management of tools as an aid in identification and analysis of acoustic signals in different taxonomic groups including electrical fish signals.
  
• Learn and apply recording techniques for sound signals acquisition directly at the field.
  
• Apply the acquired concepts developing an individual project.
