Summary Introduction
To review:
The research results that indicate that certain neurons are influenced by acoustical signals from members of their own species during the critical period.
Introduction:
All the behavioral responses, whether instinctive or learned, are regulated by neurons due to certain genes, which are expressed in their nucleus. This fact was proved by research.

- How do elephants communicate and how do they interpret the different high and low frequency sounds?arrow_forwardAnurans Most anurans breed in water and rainfall stimulates breeding in many species. Ponds may attract aggregations of anurans during breeding season and males usually are the first to arrive. In most cases, females are attracted by vocalizations by males (see beginning of our lab manual). 1) This display is called “semaphoring”.
