Eavesdropping predators, parasites and parasitoids exploit signals emitted by their prey and
hosts for detection, assessment, localization and attack, and in the process impose strong …

Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …

Twenty years ago, Dominy and colleagues published “The sensory ecology of primate food
perception,” an impactful review that brought new perspectives to understanding primate …

Practical relevance: The '2022 ISFM/AAFP Cat Friendly Veterinary Environment

Around 1000 species of bats in the world use echolocation to navigate, orient, and detect
insect prey. Many of these bats emerge from their roost at dusk and start foraging when there …

Ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) fulfill an important role in communication and navigation in
many species. Because of their social and affective significance, rodent USVs are …

Introduction Many mammals have evolved highly adapted hearing associated with
ecological specialisation. Of these, bats possess the widest frequency range of vocalisations …

Studies of sensory capacities in past life forms have offered new insights into their
adaptations and lifeways. Audition is particularly amenable to study in fossils because it is …

Predation produces intense selection and a diversity of defences. Reactive defences are
triggered by predator cues, whereas proactive defences are always in effect. We assess …

Animals have evolved a vast diversity of mechanisms to detect sounds. Auditory organs are
thus used to detect intraspecific communicative signals and environmental sounds relevant …
