In-Air and Underwater Hearing in the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis)
Hearing thresholds of a great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) were measured in air and under water using psychophysics. The lowest thresholds were at 2 kHz (45 dB re 20 μPa root-mean-square [rms] in air and 79 dB...

Biomimetic Agent Based Modelling Using Male Frog Calling Behaviour as a Case Study
A new agent-based modelling tool has been developed to allow the modelling of populations of individuals whose interactions are characterised by tightly timed dynamics. The tool was developed to model male fro...

Importance of Hearing for Survival of Danio rerio (Zebrafish) in an Experimental Predator/Prey Environment
Throughout the past 10 years, there has been an increasing interest regarding the influence of man-made noise on life in the sea. Behavioral studies show that hearing in fish (and other animals) can be impaire...

Potential for Sound Sensitivity in Cephalopods
Hearing is a primary sense in many marine animals, and we now have a reasonable understanding of what stimuli generate clear responses, the frequency range of sensitivity, expected threshold values, and mechan...

Modifying Directionality through Auditory System Scaling in a Robotic Lizard
The peripheral auditory system of a lizard is strongly directional. This directionality is created by acoustical coupling of the two eardrums and is strongly dependent on characteristics of the middle ear, suc...

A Braitenberg Lizard: Continuous Phonotaxis with a Lizard Ear Model
The peripheral auditory system of a lizard is structured as a pressure difference receiver with strong broadband directional sensitivity. Previous work has demonstrated that this system can be implemented as a...

Modelling the Peripheral Auditory System of Lizards
Lizards, such as Mabuya macularia or Gecko gecko, have a relatively simple peripheral auditory system structured as a pressure difference receiver with a strong broadband directional sensitivity. In this paper we...
