The perceptual analysis of acoustic scenes involves binding together sounds from the same
source and separating them from other sounds in the environment. In large social groups …

Hearing, as defined by numerous investigators of vertebrate hearing, involves not only
detection of a sound, but the ability to respond to the sound behaviourally. Thus, in order to …

In seasonal breeders, there are behavioral, endocrine, and neural adaptations that promote
the sexual receptivity of females and tune their sensory systems to detect and discriminate …

Choruses of acoustically signaling frogs and toads are among the most impressive acoustic
spectacles known from the natural world. They are loud, raucous social environments that …

Noise is a ubiquitous source of errors in all forms of communication [1]. Noise-induced errors
in speech communication, for example, make it difficult for humans to converse in noisy …

Amphibians have inner ears with two sensory papillae tuned to different frequency ranges of
airborne sounds. In frogs, male advertisement calls possess distinct spectral components …

Early tetrapods faced an auditory challenge from the impedance mismatch between air and
tissue in the transition from aquatic to terrestrial lifestyles during the Early Carboniferous …

Noise pollution from anthropogenic sources is an increasingly problematic challenge faced
by many taxa, including fishes. Recent studies demonstrate that road traffic noise …

The matched filter hypothesis proposes that the tuning of auditory sensitivity and the spectral
character of calls will match in order to maximize auditory processing efficiency during …

As species change through evolutionary time, the neurological and morphological structures
that underlie behavioral systems typically remain coordinated. This is especially important …
