How Snapping Shrimp Snap: Through Cavitating Bubbles
TL;DR: Hydphone measurements in conjunction with time-controlled high-speed imaging of the claw closure demonstrate that the sound is emitted at the cavitation bubble collapse and not on claw closure, and a model for the bubble dynamics based on a Rayleigh-Plesset-type equation quantitatively accounts for the time dependence of the bubble radius and for the emitted sound.

Recognition of Dominance in the Big-Clawed Snapping Shrimp (Alpheus heterochaelis Say 1818) Part II: Analysis of Signal Modality
TL;DR: The main signal in dominance recognition is therefore a chemical one, possibly the urine or a substance carried by it, and the main receptor organs for this signal are the lateral filaments of the antennules carrying the aesthetascs.

Recognition of Dominance in the Big-Clawed Snapping Shrimp (Alpheus Heterochaelis Say 1818) Part I: Individual or Group Recognition?
TL;DR: Snapdragon Alpheus heterochaelis can recognise the dominance status of the opponent and the lack of behavioural differences in losers meeting familiar or unfamiliar winners favours recognition on a group level rather than individual recognition.

The modality of the dominance signal in snapping shrimp (Alpheus heterochaelis) and the corresponding setal types on the antennules
TL;DR: The antennules of snapping shrimp were examined for differences between the lateral and medial antennule filaments to identify the modality of the dominance signal and found six different types of setae and two types of pores, which conclude that the dominance signals are chemical.

Directional dependence of auditory sensitivity and frequency selectivity in the leopard frog.
TL;DR: Directional-dependent variation in frequency selectivity and sensitivity in low- and mid-frequency sensitive fibers was attributed to pressure and phase differences impinging on the inner surface of the eardrum.
