Sound detection by the American lobster (Homarus americanus) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 ABSTRACT Although many crustaceans produce sounds, their hearing abilities and mechanisms are poorly understood, leaving uncertainties regarding whether or how these animals use sound for acoustic communication. Marine invertebrates lack gas-filled organs required for sound pressure detection, but some of them are known to be sensitive ...
