Welcome to animal BIOACOUSTICS

animal BIOACOUSTICS, often called simply bioacoustics, is the study of sound in non-human animals. It includes within its scope:

  1. animal communication and associated behavior
  2. sound production anatomy and neurophysiology of animals
  3. auditory capacities and auditory mechanisms of animals
  4. instrumental sonar: use in population assessment, identification, and behavior
  5. effects of human-made noise on animals

This website as well as the bioacoustics-l mailing list is maintained by Holger Klinck & Dave Mellinger. Please send us an email about any needed additions and corrections.
