..., this has never been evaluated experimentally. We examined tone detection thresholds by measuring behavioral responses to sounds in normal fish and in fish with manipulations to one or to both of the tympanic bladders. We found that the tympanic bladders increase auditory sensitivity by approximately 30 dB...

...Dean A. Waters; Gareth Jones ABSTRACT The noctuid moths Agrotis segetum and Noctua pronuba show peak auditory sensitivity between 15 and 25 kHz, and a maximum sensitivity of 35 dB SPL. A. segetum shows a temporal integration time of 69 ms. It is predicted that bats using high-frequency and short...

... noctuid moth audition auditory sensitivity Agrotis segetum bat echolocation Noctuid moths have auditory systems sensitive to ultrasound ( Roeder and Treat, 1957 ). It is widely believed that these ears have evolved in response to predation pressure from echolocating bats which hunt using...
