5.2. Acoustic sensory envelopes for an individual include exposure to environmental, intraspecific individual, intraspecific societal, and interspecific neighboring sounds. With such increasing levels of acoustic information available, concomitant analysis tools need
to be employed to adequately decipher patterns of those signals.
An increasingly complex continuum of analysis tools, from structural
units to pattern recognition, shows the relative breakdown of potential information gleaned from such techniques. See text for additional
explanation.
