Physiology and Bioacoustics in Reptiles [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978
Hearing in reptiles is of particular interest because of the diversity in the anatomy of the reptilian auditory system. This diversity is best illustrated in the lizard, where there is significant variation in cochlear anatomy across families. This review of the auditory physiology of reptiles will begin with a detailed discussion of the extensive ...

Status, development and trends of studies in fauna acoustics in Colombia

Biota Colombiana, 2021
Acoustic signals are one of the most important ways of communication for fauna. The study of acoustic signals constitutes a valuable tool to obtain information on ecology, behavior, taxonomic identification, and the effect of human activities in natural ...

Large-scale monitoring of Indo-Pacific finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) using multiple static acoustic sensors

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022
The distribution of Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (IPFP, Neophocaena phocaenoides) around the Hainan Island (China) is unknown, but evidences for a resident population have recently emerged.

First Suction Cup Tagging on a Small and Coastal Form Bryde’s Whale (Balaenoptera edeni edeni) in China to Investigate Its Dive Profiles and Foraging Behaviours

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Small-and-coastal-form Bryde’s whales (Balaenoptera edeni edeni) are known to inhabit coastal and continental shelf waters. However, little is known on their ethological activities, especially underwater behaviours. Here, we deployed a suction cup tag on

Standardisation of bioacoustic terminology for insects [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020
After reviewing the published literature on sound production in insects, a standardised terminology and controlled vocabularies have been created. This combined terminology has potential for use in automated identification systems, evolutionary studies, and other use cases where the synthesis of bioacoustic traits from the literature is required.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Birds, bats and beyond: evaluating generalization in bioacoustics models

Frontiers in Bird Science
In the context of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) better models are needed to reliably gain insights from large amounts of raw, unlabeled data. Bioacoustics foundation models, which are general-purpose, adaptable models that can be used for a wide ...

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.
