9: NEURAL AND BEHAVIORAL MECHANISMS OF AUDITION: 2 BEHAVIORAL STUDIES OF AUDITION.

Section 2 of the Chapter 9 of the book "Sensory Systems Neuroscience" is presented. It explores the studies of the behavioral mechanisms of audition among midshipman fish that led to the identification of the spectral and temporal features of acoustic signals that mediate social interactions in reproductive and agonistic contexts. It highlights the investigation on the relationship between vocal-acoustic behaviors and endocrinological state.
