A behavioral audiogram of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes)
Original language description
We determined the absolute hearing sensitivity of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) using an adapted standard psychoacoustic procedure. The animals were tested in a reward-based go/no-go procedure in a semi-anechoic chamber. At 60dB sound pressure level (SPL)(re 20?Pa) red foxes perceive pure tones between 51Hz and 48kHz, spanning 9.84 octaves with a single peak sensitivity of-15dB at 4kHz. The red foxes' high-frequency cutoff is comparable to that of the domestic dog while the low-frequency cutoff is comparable to that of the domestic cat and the absolute sensitivity is between both species. The maximal absolute sensitivity of the red fox is among the best found to date in any mammal. The procedure used here allows for assessment of animal auditory thresholds using positive reinforcement outside the laboratory.
