“…AEPs have been widely used to study hearing and sound communication in a broad diversity of nonhuman vertebrates, including mammals (Walsh et al 1986; Katbamna et al 1992; Supin et al 1993; Aitkin et al 1996; McFadden et al 1996; Uetake et al 1996; Uzuka et al 1996; Szymanski et al 1998; Popov and Supin 2001; Song et al 2006; D'Angelo et al 2007; Nachtigall et al 2007; Nachtigall and Supin 2008; Ramsier and Dominy 2010), birds (Brittan-Powell et al 2002, 2005, 2010a; Brittan-Powell and Dooling 2004; Lucas et al 2002; Henry and Lucas 2008, 2009, 2010a, 2010b; Caras et al 2010; Gall et al 2011; Noirot et al 2011; Lohr et al 2013), reptiles (Bartol et al 1999; Higgs et al 2002; Brittan-Powell et al 2010b; Martin et al 2012), and fish (Kenyon et al 1998; Ladich and Yan 1998; Wysocki and Ladich 2001, 2003; Lugli et al 2003; Smith et al 2004; Amoser and Ladich 2005; Horodysky et al 2008), as well as a few invertebrates (Lovell et al 2005; Hu et al 2009; Mooney et al 2010). While a few previous studies used AEPs to investigate the auditory systems of frogs, these studies used invasive recording procedures requiring surgery (Corwin et al 1982; Hillery 1984a; Seaman 1991; Carey and Zelick 1993; Bibikov and Elepfandt 2005; Katbamna et al 2006b; Yu et al 2006).…”

Auditory brainstem responses in Cope’s gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis): effects of frequency, level, sex and size

et al. 2014

Our knowledge of the hearing abilities of frogs and toads is largely defined by work with a few well-studied species. One way to further advance comparative work on anuran hearing would be greater use of minimally invasive electrophysiological measures, such as the auditory brainstem response (ABR). This study used the ABR evoked by tones and clicks to investigate hearing in Cope's gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis). The objectives were to characterize the effects of sound frequency, sound pressure level, and subject sex and body size on ABRs. The ABR in gray treefrogs bore striking resemblance to ABRs measured in other animals. As stimulus level increased, ABR amplitude increased and latency decreased, and for responses to tones, these effects depended on stimulus frequency. Frequency-dependent differences in ABRs were correlated with expected differences in the tuning of two sensory end organs in the anuran inner ear (the amphibian and basilar papillae). The ABR audiogram indicated two frequency regions of increased sensitivity corresponding to the expected tuning of the two papillae. Overall, there was no effect of subject size and only small effects related to subject sex. Together, these results indicate the ABR is an effective method to study audition in anurans.

“…As a result, the only measure of their hearing currently available is their auditory brainstem response (D'Angelo et al, 2007). This measurement indicates that the hearing range of deer extends from 250 Hz to 30 kHz, with a best sensitivity of only 42 dB at 4 and 8 kHz.…”

The behavioral audiograms of two female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were determined using a conditioned-suppression avoidance procedure. At a level of 60dB sound pressure level, their hearing range extends from 115Hzto54kHz with a best sensitivity of −3dB at 8kHz; increasing the intensity of the sound extends their hearing range from 32Hz (at 96.5dB) to 64kHz (at 93dB). Compared with humans, white-tailed deer have better high-frequency but poorer low-frequency hearing.

“…Live traps or lethal traps can be used to capture medium-sized mammals (i.e., canids, raccoons, and woodchucks) (Cleary and Dolbeer 2005). Loud noises, from 4 to 8 kHz or 20-30 kHz for deer (D'Angelo et al 2007), or lights may be effective at repelling mammals (Craven and Hyngstrom 1994; Cleary and Dolbeer 2005;Blackwell and Seamans 2009). Propane cannons or pyrotechnics may repel mammals temporarily but cannot be used long term because individuals habituate to the explosions (Belant et al 1996;Cleary and Dolbeer 2005).…”

Wildlife incidents with aircraft cost the United States (U.S.) civil aviation industry >US$1.4 billion in estimated damages and loss of revenue from 1990 to 2009. Although terrestrial mammals represented only 2.3 % of wildlife incidents, damage to aircraft occurred in 59 % of mammal incidents. We examined mammal incidents (excluding bats) at all airports in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Wildlife Strike Database from 1990 to 2010 to characterize these incidents by airport type: Part-139 certified (certificated) and general aviation (GA). We also calculated relative hazard scores for species most frequently involved in incidents. We found certificated airports had more than twice as many incidents as GA airports. Incidents were most frequent in October (n = 215 of 1,764 total) at certificated airports and November (n = 111 of 741 total) at GA airports. Most (63.2 %) incidents at all airports (n = 1,523) occurred at night but the greatest incident rate occurred at dusk (177.3 incidents/hr). More incidents with damage (n = 1,594) occurred at GA airports (38.6 %) than certificated airports (19.0 %). Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates) incidents incurred greatest (92.4 %) damage costs (n = 326; US$51.8 million) overall and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) was the most hazardous species. Overall, relative hazard score increased with increasing log body mass. Frequency of incidents was influenced by species relative seasonal abundance and behavior. We recommend airport wildlife officials evaluate the risks mammal species pose to aircraft based on the hazard information we provide and consider prioritizing management strategies that emphasize reducing their occurrence on airport property.
