Friday Talk: Dr Renee Firman
Event Information
Description
Dr Renee Firman is interested in why male mice emit ultrasonic vocalisations (which have been described to be synonymous to bird songs) when they encounter females. Her talk will explore current evidence that suggests that females use male vocalisations to assess the compatibility and quality of potential mates.
