Comparative hearing : birds and reptiles

TL;DR: The data suggest that the barn owls used information from simultaneous spectral comparison across different frequency channels to detect spectral changes in multi-component noise signals rather than sequential comparison of overall stimulus levels.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed behavioral Schroeder-masking experiments in budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) using a wide range of masker F0 and C values.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a table of contents and a list of contributors for copyright-protected multimedia content, as well as a collection of appendices and contributors of authors.

TL;DR: Data from the emu suggest that the evolution of avian auditory hair cell types started with the loss of afferent innervation to the shorthair cells, followed by a differentiation of the efferent neurons supplying tall and short hair cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the contributing ornithologists' current research in birds' acoustic communication with an ecological and evolutionary focus, and also identified the areas they feel will dominate future research efforts.

TL;DR: The process by which spatial cues are used for localizing a sound source in a free-field listening situation is summarized, and current evidence does not support the view that auditory motion perception is anything more than detection of changes in static location over time.

TL;DR: In this article, the smallest angular separation that can be detected between the sources of two successive tone pulses (the minimum audible angle) was determined for each of three subjects, and the threshold angles were analyzed in terms of the corresponding threshold changes in the phase, time, and intensity of the tone at the ears of the subject.
