The book chapters that follow the biographies of Dick Fay and Art Popper are
divided into three categories: acoustic communication and behavior, sensory
biology and physiology, and morphology and neuroanatomy. The fi rst chapter in
Part II on acoustic communication and behavior is by Tim Tricas and Jackie Webb
in which they review the current knowledge of sound producing mechanisms, hearing capabilities, and the likely importance of the auditory and lateral systems, especially the laterophysic connection, in acoustic communication in butterfl yfi shes.
Jeffrey Zeyl and associates then present a review of sound production in darters,
sculpin, and gobioids in a phylogenetic context that details the effi cacy of signal
transmission from senders to receivers and evaluates the potential functional signifi -
cance of sound attributes in relation to reproductive and territorial behaviors. Next,
Joe Sisneros and Pete Rogers summarize the previous behavioral work on directional hearing and sound source localization in fi shes and review the current
theoretical models for fi sh sound localization. Ashwin Bhandiwad and Joe Sisneros
then review some of the common methods used in fi sh psychoacoustic studies
and discuss associative methods such as operant, avoidance, and classical conditioning and how they are used to construct audiograms, measure frequency selectivity,
