[HTML][HTML] The use of bioacoustics in anuran taxonomy: theory, terminology, methods and recommendations for best practice
Vocalizations of anuran amphibians have received much attention in studies of behavioral
ecology and physiology, but also provide informative characters for identifying and …

A global analysis of song frequency in passerines provides no support for the acoustic adaptation hypothesis but suggests a role for sexual selection
Animals use acoustic signals for communication, implying that the properties of these
signals can be under strong selection. The acoustic adaptation hypothesis predicts that …

Modeling the impact of soundscape drivers on perceived birdsongs in urban forests
Birds are dominant creatures that produce abundant sounds in urban forest ecosystems,
and birdsongs are a desired soundscape to reduce noise pollution in biophilic cities. The …

Ambient noise induces independent shifts in call frequency and amplitude within the Lombard effect in echolocating bats
SR Hage, T Jiang, SW Berquist… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
The Lombard effect, an involuntary rise in call amplitude in response to masking ambient
noise, represents one of the most efficient mechanisms to optimize signal-to-noise ratio. The …

Comparative bioacoustics: a roadmap for quantifying and comparing animal sounds across diverse taxa
Animals produce a wide array of sounds with highly variable acoustic structures. It is
