The anatomy of the auditory region of fossil hominins may shed light on the emergence of
human spoken language. Humans differ from other great apes in several features of the …

Although signal characteristics and sensory systems are predicted to co-evolve according to
environmental constraints, this hypothesis has not been tested for acoustic signalling across …

Few mammals—cetaceans, domestic cats and select bats and rodents—can send and
receive vocal signals contained within the ultrasonic domain, or pure ultrasound (greater …

The structure and function of primate communication have attracted much attention, and
vocal signals, in particular, have been studied in detail. As a general rule, larger social …

Our knowledge of the hearing abilities of frogs and toads is largely defined by work with a
few well-studied species. One way to further advance comparative work on anuran hearing …

Information on hearing thresholds is not always reliable as differences in these thresholds
have been described even for the same species. This may partially be due to different …

In order to examine auditory thresholds and hearing sensitivity during aging in the gray
mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), suggested to represent a model for early primate …

To characterize the patterns of ABR waves in tree shrews, we must understand the hearing
sensitivity and auditory function of healthy adult tree shrews. Fifteen tree shrews (30 ears) …

Anurans (frogs and toads) are important models for comparative studies of communication,
auditory physiology, and neuroethology, but to date, most of our knowledge comes from in …

Hearing in subterranean rodents exhibits numerous peculiarities, including low sensitivity
and restriction to a narrow range of comparatively low frequencies. Past studies provided …
