TIME-VARYING AUDITORY GAIN CONTROL IN RESPONSE TO DOUBLE-PULSE STIMULI IN HARBOUR PORPOISES IS NOT MEDIATED BY A STAPEDIAL REFLEX

Time-varying auditory gain control in response to double-pulse stimuli in harbour porpoises is not mediated by a stapedial reflex

Echolocating animals reduce their output level and hearing sensitivity with decreasing echo Motion Gelee delays, presumably to stabilize the perceived echo intensity during target approaches.In bats, this variation in hearing sensitivity is formed by a call-induced stapedial reflex that tapers off over time after the call.Here, we test the hypothes

Assessing the contribution of local experts in monitoring Neotropical vertebrates with camera traps, linear transects and track and sign surveys in the Amazon

Given the need for consistent databases for conservation planning and management in protected areas, a challenge is to develop more accessible approaches, while ensuring that the data are robust and fit for purpose.We compared the assemblage of medium and large vertebrates using three techniques, camera trap, diurnal line-transect census (sightings
