About this ebook
""Elephant Infrasound Network"" unveils the hidden world of elephant communication, exploring how these animals use infrasoundâlow-frequency sounds below human hearingâto maintain their complex societies. This acoustic ecology allows elephants to coordinate movement, warn of danger, and sustain social bonds across vast distances, sometimes up to 10 kilometers. The book highlights the groundbreaking work of researchers like Katy Payne, who first illuminated this fascinating aspect of elephant behavior.
The book progresses logically, starting with the biophysics of infrasound production and reception. It then examines the ecological contexts of this unique form of animal communication and the implications of noise pollution on elephant habitats. A key argument emphasizes that infrasound communication is vital for elephant survival and social stability, making its disruption a significant threat.
The book uniquely integrates acoustic research with ecological and behavioral data, providing a holistic view that informs wildlife conservation and management strategies.
