Highlights how variations in anatomical structures along the auditory pathway relate to variation in auditory sensitivity
Describes newly-emergent research into how selective pressures such as ambient environmental acoustics have influenced the vocalizations produced and the propagation through the habitat
Details how variation in vocal acoustics is related to anatomy

Schweitzer Klassifikation
The lead editor has published a number of articles in international, peer-reviewed scientific journals related to the functional morphology of the outer and middle ear in humans, primates and fossil hominins, and his ongoing research program centers on the study of the evolution of human hearing. The co-editor has published articles and contributed a book chapter on auditory sensitivity in primates and has an active research program focusing on primate bioacoustics.
