A comprehensive and conclusive description of the evolution of the central auditory system
in vertebrates is a difficult, if not impossible, task. We simply lack important basic information …

Birds are renowned for their exceptional vision and the way that this enables them to survive
and navigate the world in such a unique way. However, it is now recognised that avian …

Until relatively recently, information on the internal skull structures of fossil taxa relied on

Vertebrate flee alarm calls can provide information about the type of predator, and some
mammalian alarm calls also appear to communicate the degree of danger and therefore …

Individuals are likely to benefit from responding to the alarm signals of other species with
similar predators, and mutual interspecific responses to aerial (hawk) alarms are thought to …

Lizards have highly sensitive ears, but most lizard heads are small (1-2 cm in diameter)
compared to the wavelengths of sound of frequencies to which they are most sensitive (1-4 …

Alarm calls given by other species potentially provide a network of information about danger,
but little is known about the role of acoustic similarity compared with learning in recognition …

Animals, including humans, use interaural time differences (ITDs) that arise from different
sound path lengths to the two ears as a cue of horizontal sound source location. The nature …
