Lateralization of brain functions has been suggested to provide individuals with advantages,
such as an increase of neural efficiency. The right hemisphere is likely to be specialized for …

Vocal Communication plays a crucial role in survival and reproductive success in most
amphibian species. Although amphibian communication sounds are often complex …

Background: Contemporary bioacoustics is an interdisciplinary science by combining
biology and ecology with acoustics. Through the mutual penetration and integration of …

Species that use communication sounds to coordinate social and reproductive behavior
must be able to distinguish vocalizations from nonvocal sounds as well as to identify …

The ability to discriminate species and recognize individuals is crucial for reproductive
success and/or survival in most animals. However, the temporal order and neural …

Behavioral and neurophysiological studies support the idea that right ear advantage (REA)
exists for perception of conspecific vocal signals in birds and mammals. Nevertheless, few …

Background Animal vocal signals encode very important information for communication
during which the importance of temporal and spectral characteristics of vocalizations is …

Sex differences in both vocalization and auditory processing have been commonly found in
vocal animals, although the underlying neural mechanisms associated with sexual …

Seasonal changes in the structure and function of the vertebrate brain have been described
in many species, particularly in seasonal breeders. However, it remains unclear whether …

Sex differences in vocalization have been commonly found in vocal animals. It remains
unclear, however, how animals perceive and discriminate these differences. The amplitudes …
