Sentences with phrase «optimize signal transmission»
If there are any differences in song structure among these four locations, the acoustic adaptation hypothesis predicts that song should differ between but not within elevations, because the composition of the mixed - conifer forests in Sierra Nevada are fairly standard and do not vary significantly between sites at similar elevations [30] and should therefore shape the song in similar ways in order to optimize signal transmission.
