Simple Summary The aim of the study was to determine the morphological and
morphometrical features of the auditory ossicles in the red fox. Moreover, for the first time …

Certain fox species plunge-dive into snow to catch prey (eg, rodents), a hunting mechanism
called mousing. Red and arctic foxes can dive into snow at speeds ranging between 2 and 4 …

Predator odours induce defensive behaviour in prey animals such as rats. The present study
investigated (1) whether laboratory rats exposed to predator odours emit 22-kHz calls which …

Vocalization is a widespread social behavior in vertebrates that can affect fitness in the wild.
Although many vocal behaviors are highly conserved, heritable features of specific …

Although mice mostly communicate in the ultrasonic range, they also emit audible calls. We
demonstrate that mice selectively bred for high anxiety-related behavior (HAB) have a high …

Most studies on the effects of wind energy on animals have focused on avian and bat
activity, habitat use, and mortality, whereas very few have been published on terrestrial, non …

For human-audible vocalizations (below 20 kHz) of rodents, subterranean lifestyle results in
low-frequency calls coupled with low-frequency hearing. For ultrasonic vocalizations (above …

Although domestic dogs vary considerably in both body size and skull morphology,
behavioural audiograms have previously been found to be similar in breeds as distinct as a …

African mole-rats display highly derived hearing that is characterized by low sensitivity and a
narrow auditory range restricted to low frequencies< 10 kHz. Recently, it has been …

Life underground has shaped the auditory sense of subterranean mammals, shifting their
hearing range to low frequencies. Mole-rats of the genus Fukomys have, however, been …
