Audiometric studies, using behavioral or physiological methods, describe and quantify the
hearing capabilities of animals. Audiometric studies using behavioral methods test hearing …

Hearing loss is a hallmark of aging, typically initially affecting the higher frequencies. In
echolocating bats, the ability to discern high frequencies is essential. However, nothing is …

Frogs are routinely used in physiology teaching laboratories to demonstrate important
physiological processes. There have been recent directives that promote the use of the …

Temperature fluctuation affects physiology and behaviour in ectotherms. Previous studies
revealed that the phonotactic preference of female frogs was affected by temperature …

Hearing loss is the most common form of sensory impairment in humans, affecting 5.3%
worldwide population. In industrial countries, age-related hearing loss is a major health …

The details of auditory response at the subthreshold level in the rodent primary
somatosensory cortex, the barrel cortex, have not been studied extensively, although …

Temperature is a critical factor in shaping the physiological and metabolic processes of
animals, notably impacting their auditory systems. Particularly, ectotherms face heightened …

The matched filter hypothesis proposes that the auditory sensitivity of receivers should
match the spectral energy distribution of the senders' signals. If so, receivers should be able …

The tympanic middle ear is important for anuran hearing on land. However, many species
have partly or entirely lost their tympanic apparatus. Previous studies have compared …

Bioacoustics has emerged as a prominent, non-invasive, and innovative approach to
obtaining scientific knowledge about animal behavior and ecology. As a consequence …
