Synopsis

Neuroendocrine Regulation of Animal Vocalization: Mechanisms and Anthropogenic Factors in Animal Communication examines the underpinning neuroendocrine (NE) mechanisms that drive animal communication across taxa. Written by international subject experts, the book focuses on the importance of animal communication in survival and reproduction at an individual and species level, and the impact that increased production and accumulation of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can have on these regulatory processes. This book discusses sound production, perception, processing, and response across a range of animals. This includes insects, fish, bats, birds, nonhuman primates, infant humans, and many others. Some chapters analyze how neuroactive substances, endocrine control, and chemical pollution affect the physiology of the animal’s perceptive and sound-producing organs, as well as their auditory and vocal receptors and pathways. Other chapters address the recent approaches governments have taken to protect against the endocrine disruption of animal (vocal) behaviors. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students seeking first-rate material on neuroendocrinological effects on animal behavior and communication.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Cheryl S. Rosenfeld, DVM, PhD, has published extensively on how maternal diet and developmental exposure to endocrine-disrupting compounds affect offspring outcomes. She has written several review articles and book chapters, including the most recent one on animal models of transgenerational epigenetic effects in Transgenerational Epigenetics: Evidence and Debate, published by Elsevier. She also edited and coauthored the book The Epigenome and Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, which won the BMA Medical Award for Basic and Clinical Sciences in 2016.

Frauke Hoffmann received her Dr. rer. nat. in 2012 at the Humboldt University of Berlin and the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, focusing on animal communication and EDC effects on vocalizations. She is currently a senior scientific officer at the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment.
