Why have different animals adapted to the use of a particular range of sound?

Evolution has created different physical structures inside the ear canals of some animals. Because of these differences, animals are able to hear different pitches, just like humans. However, some animals are able to hear pitches that the human ear cannot.

∙ 12y agoThe use of sound depends on their environment and how much the environment will fragment and scatter (in effect, lower the efficient) the sound. For example nocturnal Oil Birds of South America use echolocation to determine where their prey (fruit) and home are. The use of echolocation was an adaptation to night-time hunting and cave living (prevents them banging into cave walls!)
Forest dwelling birds use different calls depending on who the call is directed to (mate or competitor) as well as the surrounding trees. Lower sounds travel better through dense forest. Lower sounds also warn of intruders as they make the animal sounds closer and bigger.
The drumming spider quickly vibrates leaves against its abdomen to produce a sounds that attracts females, they prefer higher elevated areas with less grass and more dry leaves as the sound travels better.
They are many reasons for the adaptations of sound ranges, these examples don't even scrape the surface!!

∙ 15y agoby their instinct they need what they have because if like a deer didnt have good hearing, it would never know when a lion is sneaking up on him/her. so basically their different hearing ranges were made for their survival.

∙ 12y agoThere is no answer to 'why' as yet. Scientists are STILL discussing this...
Wiki User
∙ 12y agobecause tey may have a certain pitch that means danger, another one that is a distress call etc etc....

∙ 11y agoThe reason is is that deep inside their ears they have bigger drums and their ears can move in any direction. Like, foxes. LOL!

Not correct because humans and animals use ears to hear and animals can hear better because they can hear self with their smart ears.

How is animal hearing different to human hearing?
Animal hearing is different to human hearing in various ways. The main difference is that animals have a high frequency range as opposed to the human ear.

Why can some animals hear noises that we can't?
they are much more aware of what goes on around them than humans are. For one, every hair on their body serves as a tactile sensor. You know that whiskers are used to determine distances and the size of openings, etc. But they use each hair on their body to detect motion and wind direction, which helps them locate their prey on a chase.Also have better hearing.
Why is there so much diversity in the animal kingdom?
There is so much diversity in the animal kingdom because of evolution. Over millions of years, animals have adapted to various environments and niches, resulting in a wide range of species with different characteristics and behaviors. This diversity allows animals to thrive in different habitats and play different roles in ecosystems.

Why do animals live in a pond?
Quite simply, different animals have adapted (i.e., evolved) to live in different habitats. If some habitat offers suitable conditions (temperature within a certain range; food or other energy source available; etc.), then sooner or later, some species WILL evolve to take advantage of that habitat.
How are bears different from other wild animals?
Besides looking different from other wild animals, bears range from being herbivorous to carnivorous from just an individual bear in a particular species. For instance, a grizzly can be grazing grass one moment, then be chasing down a young bison calf the next.

Why would there be different published values for the normal range of particular measurement?
because different people may have made slightly different mesurements. measurements are not 100% accurate
Why do types of plants and animals that are found on different sides of the same mountain range might differ?
I believe that the temperature may affect the animals and plants.
Why would there be different published values for the normal range of a particular measurement?
Different people or organizations may have made slightly different measurements. Measurements are never 100% accurate.
