Synopsis Ecology and Evolution of Acoustic Communication in Birds by : Donald E. Kroodsma
With song often serving dual strategies of territorial defense and female attraction, studies using playback techniques have shown how birds interact, demonstrated difference between males and females in the perception of sounds.

Synopsis Acoustic Communication in Birds by : Kroodsma
Acoustic Communication in Birds, Volume 1: Production, Perception, and Design Features of Sounds presents the scientific study of bird vocalizations. This book discusses the relations between the physical structure of bird vocalization and their quality as perceived by the recipient. Organized into nine chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the first sound recording of bird sound. This text then outlines some of the complex processes and events between sound production and behavior response to sound. Other chapters consider the study of neural control of vocalizations in birds. This book discusses as well the acoustic information transmitted through the wide range of habitats plays a crucial role in different avian behaviors, including individual and species recognition, territorial defense, mate selection, and song learning. The final chapter deals with a more detailed functional interpretation of a particular sound. This book is a valuable resource for ornithologists, ethologists, and research workers.

Synopsis Acoustic Communication in Birds by : Kroodsma
Acoustic Communication in Birds, Volume 2: Song Learning and Its Consequences investigates acoustic communication in birds, with emphasis on song learning and its consequences. Some issues in the study of bird sounds are discussed, with particular reference to evolutionary considerations. The ontogeny of acoustic behavior in birds is also considered, along with sound production, neural control of song, and auditory perception. Comprised of nine chapters, this volume begins with an introduction to the nature, extent, and evolution of vocal learning in birds. Several well-documented examples in which vocal development appears to proceed independently of audition (and therefore independently of vocal learning) are presented, together with aspects of selective vocal learning; the timing of vocal learning; and selective forces that may have promoted the evolution of vocal learning in birds. Subsequent chapters explore the role of subsong and plastic song in the vocal learning process; the function and evolution of avian vocal mimicry; the ecological and social significance of duetting in birds; and microgeographic and macrogeographic variation in the acquired vocalizations of birds. The book also examines genetic population structure and vocal dialects in Zonotrichia (Emberizidae). This monograph will be of interest to ornithologists, evolutionary biologists, and zoologists, as well as to students of communication and bioacoustics.

Synopsis Visual and Acoustic Communication Signals in Birds by : Oscar Alberto Laverde RodrÃguez
The evolution of communication signals is a central, integrative topic in evolutionary biology. In this dissertation, I propose that achieving a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of such signals requires not only considering different theories in isolation (i.e. the transfer and sensory drive hypotheses), but also possible interactions between theories and disciplines. For example, the negative association between communication signals observed by Darwin might be strongly determined by adaptation for communication to different habitats: Each habitat has its own features affecting the efficacy of communication, and animals should evolve strategies to optimize signal salience in the face of resolving potential tradeoffs. Based on this overall framework we tested hypothesis about the evolution of and relationships between acoustic and visual signals in relation to habitat features. I used birds as a model system, but the approach and conclusions likely apply to other animals using both acoustic and signals for communication. Specifically, this work focused on three different study systems which allowed me to approach the relationships between types of signals from different perspectives: (1) two species complexes in the tinamou family (Tinamidae) differing in patterns of variation in plumage and vocalizations, (2) a widely distributed family of passerine birds with species exhibiting different communication strategies and occurring in contrasting habitats (i.e the New World warblers, Parulidae), and (3) an assemblage of multiple species coexisting locally in tropical montane forest site. Additionally, i explored the use and relevance of information contained in sound collections for studies on the ecology and evolution of animal communication.

Synopsis Acoustic Communication by : Andrea Simmons
In order to communicate, animals send and receive signals that are subject to their particular anatomical, psychological, and environmental constraints. This SHAR volume discusses both the production and perception of acoustic signals. Chapters address the information that animals communicate, how the communication is developed and learned, and how communication systems have adapted and evolved within species. The book will give examples from a variety of species.

Synopsis Ecology of Sensing by : Friedrich G. Barth
Sense organs serve as a kind of biological interface between the environment and the organism. Therefore, the relationship between sensory systems and ecology is very close and its knowledge of fundamental importance for an understanding of animal behavior. The sixteen chapters of this book exemplify the diversity of the constraints and opportunities associated with the sensation of stimuli representing different forms of energy. The book stresses the events taking place in the sensory periphery where the animal is exposed to and gets in touch with its natural habitat and acquires the information needed to organize its interaction with its environment. Ecology of Sensing brings together the leading experts in the field.
