Description
Hearing and Sound Communication in Amphibians is a definitive scientific reference that delves into the complex auditory systems and acoustic behaviors of amphibians. Authored by leading expert P.M. Narins, this hardcover edition provides an in-depth examination of how frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians produce, transmit, and perceive sound signals.
The book covers fundamental topics including inner ear anatomy, auditory neural pathways, and the physics of sound propagation in aquatic and terrestrial environments. It explores how amphibians use vocalizations for mate attraction, territorial defense, and species recognition. The text integrates evolutionary perspectives, behavioral ecology, and comparative physiology to illuminate the diversity of acoustic communication strategies across amphibian taxa.
Essential for herpetologists, bioacousticians, evolutionary biologists, and animal behavior researchers, this authoritative work combines experimental findings with ecological context.
