Towards understanding plant bioacoustics
Trends in Plant Science, 2012Little is known about plant bioacoustics. Here, we present a rationale as to why the perception of sound and vibrations is likely to have also evolved in plants. We then explain how current evidence contributes to the view that plants may indeed benefit from mechanosensory mechanisms thus far unsuspected.

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2014
Bony fishes have evolved a diversity of sound generating mechanisms and produce a variety of sounds. By contrast to sound generating mechanisms, which are lacking in several taxa, all fish species possess inner ears for sound detection. Fishes may also have various accessory structures such as auditory ossicles to improve hearing.

Bioacoustic contributions to the soundscape
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013The soundscape, the combination of all sounds found in the environment, has been divided into three components: geophony—sounds that are generated by non-biological sources such as wind and waves; biophony—sound generated by animals, excepting humans; and anthrophony—sound generated by human activities. The soundscape can be further divided by spatial,

FISH BIOACOUSTICS: INTRODUCTION
Bioacoustics, 2002This article provides an overview to articles on fish bioacoustics – the study of hearing, sound production, communication, and the lateral line of fishes. Since bioacoustics includes the ear, this section also includes articles on the anatomy of the ear as well as the other important role of the ear beyond hearing, the vestibular sense.

Manatees, Bioacoustics and Boats
American Scientist, 2002It's 2 o'clock in the morning, and, wouldn't you know it, Stormy is "in love" with that big Navy transducer again. Now I have to get in the cold water and pry him off so we can set up for Dundee's session. Oh, the joys of working with manatees under the Tampa moonlight!

The future of fish bioacoustics.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009In 1993 (Brain, Behav. Evol. 41, 14–38 (1993)] we evaluated changes in our knowledge of fish bioacoustics since our 1973 review and proposed ten issues that still needed to be answered. This presentation asks whether we have have made progress on these issues since 1993 and poses questions for future fish bioacoustics research.

History of animal bioacoustics
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002The earliest studies on animal bioacoustics dealt largely with descriptions of sounds. Only later did they address issues of detection, discrimination, and categorization of complex communication sounds. This literature grew substantially over the last century.

A history of fish bioacoustics
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018Awareness of fish sound production dates back to ancient times, and concern about effects of man-made sounds on fishes can be traced back at least to the mid 17th century. By the end of the 19th century, the morphology of the fish ear had been well described, but experimental studies of the hearing characteristics did not begin until the early 1900s ...

Investigation of the mechanism of the bioacoustic effect
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1999Bacterial biofilms growing on implanted medical devices are difficult to eradicate, even with aggressive antibiotic therapy. However, application of ultrasound enhances the effectiveness of the antibiotic. The possible mechanisms of this phenomenon were explored in light of the observed influence of various ultrasonic parameters on the enhanced action ...

Tits, noise and urban bioacoustics
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2004Humans, particularly in cities, are noisy. Researchers are only just beginning to identify the implications of an increase in noise for species that communicate acoustically. In a recent paper, Slabbekoorn and Peet show, for the first time, that some birds can respond to anthropogenically elevated noise levels by altering the frequency structure of ...
