摘要: Most animals appear to use their hearing for multiple purposes. These include detecting and identifying significant sounds in the environment (frequently as indicators of presence a predator or prey), social communicating (to attract identify other members species, even particular individuals, determine behavioral state these others aggressive encounters, mating, purposes), perceiving locations various sources sound, often guide orientation primary spatial modality, vision. Animals which mode perception locating objects provide valuable examples ultimate capacity auditory system process information conveyed sounds. This is especially true localization sound three dimensions by who move about freely air water, where premium likely be placed on vertical well horizontal localization.
