Hearing and Sound Communication in Amphibians: Springer Handbook of Auditory Research, cartea 28

Editat de Peter M. Narins, Albert S. Feng, Richard R. Fay
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 sep 2006
As models for vertebrate auditory systems, amphibians have been the source of extensive, ground-breaking research on hearing, the nervous system and acoustic communication. This comprehensive review covers key issues in amphibian hearing and communication in depth. Topics are relevant to auditory research, neuroethology, herpetology, animal behavior and bioacoustics.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Hearing and Sound Communication in Amphibians is a compendium of the latest research on acoustic communication in these highly vocal vertebrates.  The chapters are written by experts currently investigating the physiology and behavior of amphibians both in the laboratory and in the field.  This integrated approach guides each chapter and provides a neuroethologically-driven and evolutionary basis for our understanding of acoustic communication and its underlying mechanisms.  The intended audience ranges from senior undergraduates to physiologists, zoologists, evolutionary biologists and communication
specialists.
