Sensory systems function most efficiently when processing natural stimuli, such as
vocalizations, and it is thought that this reflects evolutionary adaptation. Among the best …

SYNOPSIS. The social behavior of anurans (frogs and toads) is mediated by a number of
acoustic signals, or calls, that show both inter-and intraspecific differences in temporal …

The efficiency of acoustic communication depends on the power generated by the sound
source, the quality of the environment across which signals propagate, the environmental …

Frogs rely on acoustic signaling to detect, discriminate, and localize mates. In the temperate
zone, reproduction occurs in the spring, when frogs emerge from hibernation and engage in …

Sound source perception refers to the auditory system's ability to parse incoming sensory
information into coherent representations of distinct sound sources in the environment. Such …

We investigated response selectivities of single auditory neurons in the torus semicircularis
of male frogs Batrachyla leptopus (72 neurons) and B. taeniata (57 neurons) to synthetic …

For over three decades, the anuran auditory system has played a prominent role in
advancing our understanding of how biologically relevant acoustic information is …

The efficiency of acoustic communication depends on the power generated by the sound
source, the attributes of the environment across which signals propagate, the environmental …

The influence of envelope rise time on neural responses was investigated in the central
auditory pathway of frogs. Single unit and evoked potential recordings were made from the …

Anurans (frogs and toads) are important models for comparative studies of communication,
auditory physiology, and neuroethology, but to date, most of our knowledge comes from in …
