Hearing ability in three clownfish species.
Clownfish live in social groups in which there is a size-based dominance hierarchy. In such a context, sonic cues could play a role in social organisation because dominant frequency and pulse length of sounds are strongly correlated with fish size. Data on the hearing ability of these fish are, however, needed to show that they have the sensory ability to detect the frequencies in their sounds....
متن کاملPosition-dependent hearing in three species of bushcrickets (Tettigoniidae, Orthoptera)
A primary task of auditory systems is the localization of sound sources in space. Sound source localization in azimuth is usually based on temporal or intensity differences of sounds between the bilaterally arranged ears. In mammals, localization in elevation is possible by transfer functions at the ear, especially the pinnae. Although insects are able to locate sound sources, little attention ...
متن کاملHearing Ability Decreases in Aging
16 Insects display signs of aging, despite their short lifespan. We focus on the aging of adult locusts and 17 their subsequent hearing ability. Our results indicate that younger adults (two weeks after maturity) 18 have a greater neurophysiological response to sound, especially for low frequencies (<10kHz), as well as 19 shorter latency to this neural response. Interestingly, when measuring di...
متن کاملTerritory inheritance in clownfish.
Animal societies composed of breeders and non-breeders present a challenge to evolutionary theory because it is not immediately apparent how natural selection can preserve the genes that underlie non-breeding strategies. The clownfish Amphiprion percula forms groups composed of a breeding pair and 0-4 non-breeders. Non-breeders gain neither present direct, nor present indirect benefits from the...
