Abstract

Animal bioacoustics (AB) covers all matters related to the production, transmission, and reception of sound in nature, as well as the investigation and use of natural sound by people and impacts of anthropogenic sounds by on animals. Topics include animal communication; sound production mechanisms; sound reception mechanisms (with P&P); evolution of sound production and hearing mechanisms; effects of acoustic propagation on natural sounds; sound detection, classification, localization and tracking; estimating populations and population density; impact of human-generated noise on animals; and a variety of other topics. All animals, and indeed all organisms, are considered within the scope of AB, though the most common taxa are marine mammals, birds, primates and other mammals, fishes, frogs and other amphibians, and insects.
