Evolutionary adaptations for the temporal processing of natural sounds by the anuran peripheral auditory system

KM Schrode, MA Bee - The Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015 - journals.biologists.com
Sensory systems function most efficiently when processing natural stimuli, such as
vocalizations, and it is thought that this reflects evolutionary adaptation. Among the best …
