The auditory system of the minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) : a potential fatty sound reception pathway in a mysticete cetacean
… developed based on how baleen whales receive sound. However, sound reception pathways in baleen whales are currently unknown. This thesis presents an integrative approach to understanding hearing in baleen whales through dissections, biomedical imaging, biochemical analyses, and modeling sound …

Comparative studies on the auditory systems of Ensifera
… was investigated in examples of Ensifera. Sound reception by these insects has two main functions: localization and recognition of the sound source. This study investigated aspects of each of these processes.

Tuning of the middle ear in túngara frogs ( Engystomops pustulosus)
<p>To effectively communicate using sound, animals have to hear well in the frequency range of their calls. In frogs, body size is a major predictor of both the dominant frequency of the mating call, and the frequency of best sensitivity of the ear, which tend to match each other. Various pathways …

Morphometric analysis of ears in two families of pinnipeds
… support a canalcentric system for pinniped sound reception and localization. Further, true seals show adaptations for aquatic high frequency specialization.

Amphibian communication: Coupling of acoustic systems to the medium at the air-water interface
<p>Sound does not transmit well across the interface of two media. Therefore, most organisms communicate using one medium. Some anurans vocalize at the interface of air and water, though reception of these vocalizations is generally unknown. The túngara frog ( Engystomops pustulosus ) may be the …
