Investigators working with fish bioacoustics used to refer to fishes that have a narrow
hearing bandwidth and poor sensitivity as “hearing generalists”(or “non-specialists”), while …

Cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes), including sharks, skates, rays, elephant fishes and
chimaeras, have been in existence for over 400 million years and represent early stages of …

This paper considers the importance of particle motion to fishes and invertebrates and the
steps that need to be taken to improve knowledge of its effects. It is aimed at scientists …

Locating sound sources such as prey or predators is critical for survival in many vertebrates.
Terrestrial vertebrates locate sources by measuring the time delay and intensity difference of …

Fishes obtain substantial information about their environment by listening to the sounds
around them. Indeed, because sound propagates rapidly and over great distances in water …

Directional hearing may enable fishes to seek out prey, avoid predators, find mates, and
detect important spatial cues. Early sound localization experiments gave negative results …

Highlights•Artificial noise elicited an amplitude increase in mate advertisement
vocalizations.•Artificial noise elicited peak frequency decreases in three different …

Many crustaceans produce sounds that might be used in communication. However, little is
known about sound detection in crustaceans, hindering our understanding of crustacean …

Despite the prevalence of vibration produced by anthropogenic activities impacting the
seabed there are few data and little information as to whether these are detected by …

Older studies of mammalian otolith physiology have focused mainly on sustained responses
to low-frequency (< 50 Hz) or maintained linear acceleration. So the otoliths have been …
