These sounds range from the haunting song of the humpback whale song to the explosive clicks of snapping shrimp, and are important for social interactions and predator avoidance. In the talk, Steve explained how he has pioneered new ways of listening to the ocean and of interacting with fish to understand whole soundscapes and to unlock the language of fish. If you missed the talk, you can catch up with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/Intrepidexplorers\/\">online podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Exeter Intrepid Explorers\u2019 talks are free and organised by Intrepid Explorers, in association with the University of Exeter\u2019s Global Systems Institute. Other upcoming topics include Mozambique\u2019s forgotten rainforests, the acidification of the arctic, and a year spent by an anthropologist in a Namibian village.<\/p>\n<p>John Puckey, one of the organisers explained the aim;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIntrepid Explorers\u2019 events show that field research and science are inspiring for the widest possible audience. The events are free entry, and have an informal atmosphere to encourage discussion and maximise participation for all of Exeter\u2019s communities\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/emps.exeter.ac.uk\/engineering\/staff\/kb527\">Dr Kate Baker, Research Fellow at the University of Exeter<\/a> explained the partnership;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe University\u2019s new Global Systems Institute will advance our understanding of global changes. This will be achieved through transformative research and education. An important part of the process is sharing the stories of life in a global context with members of the wider community. This is why GSI is teaming up with Intrepid Explorers. This is an exciting event that inspires people to support, engage and advance research on global change through sharing and learning.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/439454216477578\/\">Next Event: Mozambique\u2019s forgotten \u2018sky-islands\u2019| Sam Jones<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-59\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Sam-photo-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Sam-photo-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Sam-photo-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Sam-photo-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Sam-photo-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Sam-photo.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Details:<\/strong> Until recent years, the mountains of northern Mozambique- isolated mountain \u2018archipelagos\u2019 that lie adjacent to the main highlands of eastern Africa remained relatively unknown in terms of biology. Owing to their remoteness and civil war, there has been virtually no scientific study, so its forests are little known. In November 2017, Sam Jones\u2019 team set about to understand its biological value. They discovered the presence of large numbers of highly range-restricted species and several new species to science. Sam will recount the tale of the expedition, its findings, and the unique value of the country\u2019s mountains, also highlighting how much there is still to learn in this vast and fascinating region.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-60\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Tree-and-person--300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Tree-and-person--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Tree-and-person--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Tree-and-person--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/exetermarine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2018\/02\/Tree-and-person-.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim Van Berkel studies a strangler fig in the dense primary forest of Chitagal Mountain, Mozambique.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 22 February 6.16-7.15 *Free tickets, book through Exeter Phoenix (Booking essential)*<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Exeter Phoenix<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/439454216477578\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/439454216477578\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Twitter:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/I_Explorers\"><strong>@<\/strong>I_Explorers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#ExeterMarine<\/strong> is a interdisciplinary group of marine related researchers with capabilities across the scientific, medical, engineering, humanities and social science fields. <strong>If you are interested in working with our researchers or students, contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exeter.ac.uk\/iib\/contactsandstaff\/fullstafflist\/profile\/index.php?web_id=Michael_Hanley\">Michael Hanley<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exeter.ac.uk\/research\/marine\/\">visit our website<\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author &#8211;
