Great book for free! "This open-access book empowers its readers to explore the acoustic world of animals. By listening to the sounds of nature, we can study animal behavior, distribution, and demographics; their habitat characteristics and needs; and the effects of noise." https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-97540-1?fbclid=IwY2xjawTO7RRleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETAzUVhMcG9rcU93SXlZOUMzc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjnyD14MtF_csMBRDA2xGAfhjdkTXS42SlhGpbUbjdxdezfYuDk9gFUXeuZG_aem_52TtIvPgdkNeSr42TwQZPg #fieldrecording #science #sounds

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐘🦻 #Elephants can hear messages sent through ground vibrations from more than 10 km away using bone conduction. A #study found that elephants’ larger middle ear bones transmit low-frequency vibrations to the cochlea more effectively than human #ears. A special #muscle may also let elephants voluntarily close their ear canals, potentially boosting sensitivity to infrasonic #sounds by up to 30 times. 👉 https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/elephants-may-hear-messages-through-ground-vibrations-from-more-than-10-kilometers-away/ #hearing #infrasound #animals #communication #anatomy #science #biology #zoology #wildlife #harvard
