Preface.- An Introduction to Rodent Bioacoustics.- Rodent Vocalizations: Adaptations to Physical, Social, and Sexual Factors.- Three Decades of Subterranean Acoustic Communication Studies.- Hearing in Rodents.- Rodent Sound Localization and Spatial Hearing.- Anatomy of Vocal Communication and Hearing in Rodents.- Lessons from Rodent Models for Genetic and Age-Related Hearing Loss.- State and Context in Vocal Communication of Rodents.
Rodents are the largest of all mammalian taxa. Rodent studies have provided invaluable data about hearing. Thus, this volume provides an overview of what is known (and not known) about rodent bioacoustics.
