Abstract
The frequency range of hearing in fishes and frogs historically has been thought to be confined to relatively low frequencies in comparison to that of mammals. However, within the last 20 years, the audiograms of several fish and frog species have been shown to encompass ultrasonic (US) frequencies. Moreover, these animals have been shown to respond behaviorally to US playbacks. Although the evolution of US detection in these species is still an ongoing topic of study, both fishes and frogs have faced the challenge of producing very high-frequency responses from systems that evolved with low-frequency sensitivity. A short history of the behavioral responses and the electrophysiological mechanisms (when known) underlying the production and reception of US in fishes and frogs is presented, with a focus on the unique experimental approaches that have yielded this surprising upward extension of the hearing ranges of several specialized fishes and frogs.
