Effects of Anthropogenic Noise on Animals (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Hans Slabbekoorn, Robert J. Dooling, Arthur N. Popper,... Effects of Anthropogenic Noise on Animals (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)

Over the past several years, many investigators interested in the effects of man-made sounds on animals have come to realize that there is much to gain from studying the broader literature on hearing sound and the effects of sound as well as data from the effects on humans. It has also become clear that knowledge of the effects of sound on one group of animals (e.g., birds or frogs) can guide studies on other groups (e.g., marine mammals or fishes) and that a review of all such studies together would be very useful to get a better understanding of the general principles and underlying cochlear and cognitive mechanisms that explain damage, disturbance, and deterrence across taxa. The purpose of this volume, then, is to provide a comprehensive review of the effects of man-made sounds on animals, with the goal of fulfilling two major needs. First, it was thought to be important to bring together data on sound and bioacoustics that have implications across all taxa (including humans) so that such information is generally available to the community of scholars interested in the effects of sound. This is done in Chaps. 2-5. Second, in Chaps. 6-10, the volume brings together what is known about the effects of sound on diverse vertebrate taxa so that investigators with interests in specific groups can learn from the data and experimental approaches from other species. Put another way, having an overview of the similarities and discrepancies among various animal groups and insight into the "how and why" will benefit the overall conceptual understanding, applications in society, and all future research.

Comparative Hearing: Birds and Reptiles (Hardcover, 2000 ed.): Robert J. Dooling, Richard R Fay Comparative Hearing: Birds and Reptiles (Hardcover, 2000 ed.)
Robert J. Dooling, Richard R Fay
R4,578 Discovery Miles 45 780 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Birds and reptiles have long fascinated investigators studying hearing and the auditory system. The highly evolved auditory inner ear of birds and reptiles shares many characteristics with the ear of mammals. Thus, the two groups are essential in understanding the form and function of the vertebrate and mammalian auditory systems. Comparative Hearing: Birds and Reptiles covers the broad range of our knowledge of hearing and acoustic communication in both groups of vertebrates. This volume addresses the many similarities in their auditory systems, as well as the known significant differences about hearing in the two groups.

The Comparative Psychology of Audition - Perceiving Complex Sounds (Hardcover): Robert J. Dooling, Stewart H. Hulse The Comparative Psychology of Audition - Perceiving Complex Sounds (Hardcover)
Robert J. Dooling, Stewart H. Hulse
R4,518 Discovery Miles 45 180 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Uniting scientists who study music, child language, human psychoacoustics, and animal acoustical communication, this volume examines research on the perception of complex sounds. The contributors' papers focus on finding a common principle from the comparison of the processing of complex acoustic signals. This volume emphasizes the "comparative" and the "complex" in auditory perception. Topics covered range from communication systems in mice, birds, and primates to the perception and processing of language and music by humans.
