produced by weakfish, but the ECU group realized that it was produced instead by striped cuskeels (Ophididon marginatum). From these recordings, Luczkovich and the ECU SciaenidAcoustics Research Team (SART) discovered that silver perch became acoustically inactivewhen bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) making signature whistles were in the area. Hehas recently been using acoustic data loggers and an autonomous wave glider to monitor theimpact of anthropogenic noises from vessels on fish sound production and is interested in therole the species-specific sounds may play in reproductive isolation of the Sciaenidae, whichcould lead to speciation events within this group.

Reidenberg, Ph.D. is a Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in NewYork City, a Fellow of the American Association of Anatomists, and an Inaugural Fellow of theSociety for Marine Mammalogy. She received a B.A. in 1983 from Cornell University's Collegeof Arts and Sciences. She earned her M.Phil. in 1985 and her Ph.D. in 1988 in Anatomy fromMount Sinai’s Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences in New York. Dr. Reidenberg has alsoheld appointments as a Guest Investigator at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and asan Associate Scientist at the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution.Dr. Reidenberg is a biomedical research scientist who studies comparative anatomy. She hasexamined a large variety of animals ranging from insects to humans, but her particularfascination is with aquatic animals. Much of Dr. Reidenberg’s recent work is focused on howanimals adapt to environmental extremes. Current research is focused on the anatomy of whales,dolphins and porpoises, especially in understanding how they produce sounds and withstand thepressures of diving. Her anatomical research focuses on these animals as "natural experiments"from which we can learn about basic biomechanical relationships that affect all animals,including humans. Dr. Reidenberg is interested in how these animals have evolved adaptations tosolve problems we consider a survival challenge in humans. She hopes to learn from nature anddevelop protective/preventive technologies or new medical treatments for injuries and diseasesbased upon mimicking these adaptations. Dr. Reidenberg work has been federally funded by:Office of Naval Research, Department of Defense, National Oceanic Partnership Program, andNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She is also a well known popular televisionfigure, having been the comparative anatomist for several television documentary seriesincluding: Inside Nature’s Giants, Sex in the Wild, Born in the Wild, Whale Detective,Humpnback Whales: A Detective Story, Big Blue Live, Wild Alaska Live, Mythical Beasts, Jimmyand the Whale Whisperer, Brave New World with Stephen Hawking, Decoding Humpbacks,Science of Whales, Cracking the Humpback Code, Whale Communication.Joseph D. Warren (joe.warren@stonybrook.edu)@warren lab (Twitter)I'm an associate professor in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony BrookUniversity. I was an undergraduate engineering major and discovered underwater acoustics as asummer student at WHOI working on acoustic measurements of sediment transport. I quicklyrealized that animals are more interesting than sand grains and started working with Tim Stanton(a physicist) and Peter Wiebe (a biologist) on using active acoustics to measure zooplanktonpopulations in the Gulf of Maine. The majority of my field work involves acoustic surveys of11

zooplankton and nekton populations and my research interests include: improving our ability toget “biologically-meaningful” information from acoustic echosounders, development of acousticscattering models for different types of scattering processes, and examining predator-preyrelationships between zooplankton and their charismatic megafauna (including seabirds)consumers. “Studying whale food” has become a larger part of my lab's activities in the past fewyears and I’ve done a bit of work looking at small zooplankton in freshwater lakes which hasallowed me to make the [completely unverified] claim that I've used an underwater echosounderat a higher elevation (7000 ft above sea level) than anybody else in the world. I’ve also dabbledin the world of passive acoustics using them to examine dolphin-human interactions at artificialreefs in New York, fish behavior in local estuarine habitats, and even some terrestrial acoustics.12

Mymaster's thesis at BioConsult SH (Germany)was about the response of harbour porpoises tothe FaunaGuard and subsequent piling duringthe construction of offshore wind farms. TheFaunaGuard is an acoustic harassment devicethat can temporarily deter harbour porpoisesfrom a small area before noisy pile drivingbegins, without causing far-reachingdisturbance like the previous acousticharassment device (the seal scarer). Currently, Iam working as a research associate atBioConsult SH in two areas: (1) monitoring theimpact of noise from offshore wind farms onharbour porpoises using Passive AcousticMonitoring, and (2) a new service(SPACEWHALE) that uses artificialintelligence to detect large whales in very highresolution satellite images.Institute of MarineScience, University ofAucklandImpacts of sound pollution from smallrecreational boats on shallow coastal habitats.University ofWashingtonBeluga and narwhal differentiation andclassification using echolocation clicksJulika VoßLouise WilsonMarie Zahn15
