Acoustic signals are used for long-range communication in many animals from insects to
birds and mammals. Long-range signals are used primarily by males to advertise and …

Any signal must get from a sender to a receiver if information is to be transmitted. In the case
of bird song, the acoustic properties of the habitat may hinder this being achieved. However …

Behavioral Ecology of Tropical Birds, Second Edition provides the most updated and
comprehensive review on the evolution of behavior in tropical landbirds. The book reviews …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses on how birds respond to each other and the
proximate and ultimate consequences of different singing strategies during an interaction …

Binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) were measured in a classroom for sources at
different azimuths and distances (up to 1 m) relative to a manikin located in four positions in …

An acoustic community is defined as an aggregation of species that produces sound by
using internal or extra-body sound-producing tools. Such communities occur in aquatic …

What is it like to be a swift, flying at over one hundred kilometres an hour? Or a kiwi,
plodding flightlessly among the humid undergrowth in the pitch dark of a New Zealand …

The acoustic adaptation hypothesis (AAH) predicts that vocalizations intended for
unambiguous long range communication should possess amplitude modulation (AM) …

The diversity of animal acoustic signals has evolved due to multiple ecological processes,
both biotic and abiotic. At the level of communities of signaling animals, these processes …

The Lombard reflex is an increase in the subject's vocal levels in response to increased
noise levels. This functions to maintain an adequate signal-to-noise ratio at the position of …
