The Evolution of Mammalian Sound Localization
Introduction The ability to localize sound is useful for survival because it allows an animal to determine the location of sound sources, which, in nature, are usually other animals. Indeed, the need to localize sound explains why terrestrial vertebrates have two ears, as differences in the time of arrival and the intensity of a sound at the two ears gives information about the direction of its...

متن کاملThe impacts of anthropogenic sound on marine mammals in the Persian Gulf; current status and need for future research
Abstract Sound generating human activities so-called “anthropogenic sound” have increased ambient sound levels considerably in aquatic habitats that are markedly diverse in time and space. Sound generating human activities is now recognized as a potential driver of environmental changes in marine habitats. Iran has 750 km coastline along the Caspian Sea located in the north and around 2250 km ...

Dooling The precedence effect has previously been found in mammals, anurans, invertebrates, and one species of bird, the barn owl. Here, the precedence effect was measured in a small parrot, the budgerigar (Melopsit...
متن کاملSound localization and delay lines--do mammals fit the model?
The current dominant model of binaural sound localization proposes that the lateral position of a sound source is determined by the position of maximal activation within an array of binaural coincidence-detector neurons that are tuned to different interaural time differences (ITDs). The tuning of a neuron for an ITD is determined by the difference in axonal conduction delay from each ear--the s...
