Preview: The SFECA podcasts continue to shed light on the richness and diversity of French research into animal behavior.
In these two new episodes, we had the pleasure of welcoming Ludovic Calandreau and Maryline Beauchaud, who shared their expert knowledge on the neurobiological bases of behavior and on communication and acoustic ecology in fish, respectively.
Episode 14 – Ludovic Calandreau: explores the neurobiological and emotional mechanisms underlying behavior and cognition, particularly in birds. His work focuses on stress, anxiety, cognitive biases, and the neural processes that underlie them, also exploring the implications of these processes for animal welfare.

Episode 15 – Maryline Beauchaud: focuses on acoustic communication in fish, particularly in social and agonistic contexts. Her research examines sound signals related to individual identity and size, as well as the effects of anthropogenic noise on the behavior and hearing of aquatic species. Through this work, she advances our understanding of social interactions and of the issues associated with noise pollution in aquatic environments.
