This ensures the transmission of important context...

Here, using suction cup hydrophones on the head of a trained beluga whale, we measured seven different communication signal types and echolocation clicks in order to test the hypothesis that belugas produce distinct sounds unilaterally. We show that, like other...

...Brooke J. Vetter; Joseph A. Sisneros ABSTRACT The plainfin midshipman fish ( Porichthys notatus ) is an established model for investigating acoustic communication because the reproductive success of this species is dependent on the production and reception of social acoustic signals. Previous work...

Females rely on audition...

...Amanda A. Lindeman; Jayne E. Yack ABSTRACT Many insects vary their song patterns to communicate different messages, but the underlying biomechanisms are often poorly understood. Here, we report on the mechanics of sound production and variation in an elytro-tergal stridulator, male Dendroctonus...
