Publication news! Together with Jeroen (https://science.jeroenhubert.nl/) & Judith I wrote a paper on experimental design in underwater acoustic research. One of my Marine Biology degree projects was a two month literature review, and I really wanted to dive into a topic new to me. I approached Jeroen, he had some great ideas and we got started! I have read over 500 papers for this review, scored around 100 on different topics. We mainly show that it is important to present your research results in an objective manner. Some researchers play a sound of a boat to an animal in captivity, and then state that all boats cause a specific reaction to all animals of this species. But of course there are many types of boats! And not all animals show the same reaction! It is very difficult to study the effect of sound on underwater animals in the wild, so laboratory research is really important, and we are happy so much nice work has been done already. But I hope that if colleagues read our results, they will agree and incorporate small difference to make their work even better! The DOI is: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2024.07.005 Thank you so much to Jeroen & Judith for the guidance, all that I have learned in a very short time span, and the opportunity to publish our results.
