Biophony structure arises from four evolutionary pressure mechanisms

Evidence

Summary The structure and complexity of biophonies are the result of evolutionary pressure. Four major hypotheses are considered relevant for this process. Physical structure of the organisms, adaptive mechanisms in sound production and transmission, reduction of acoustic competition, and behavioral processes are possible integrative strategies to enhance sonic context. — Almo Farina, Soundscape Ecology, 492
