Abstract

Peur, joie, amour, colère... Qui n'a un jour constaté chez son animal favori la manifestation d'une émotion ou d'un sentiment ? Pourtant une large frange de la communauté scientifique continue de nier l'évidence. Cet ouvrage montre, au contraire, toute la richesse de la vie émotionnelle des animaux, que Charles Darwin, le théoricien de l'évolution des espèces, avait lui-même constatée. Posant la question du comportement de l'homme vis-à-vis de son frère animal, il propose des portraits inoubliables : de l'éléphant héroïque qui sauve un bébé rhinocéros à un gorille mélomane qui ne veut pas manquer Pavarotti à la télévision, en passant par un jeune épaulard qui se venge d'un plongeur importun en le maintenant sous l'eau. Provocateur, mais déjà considéré sur le plan international comme le livre-clé sur la condition animale, Quand les éléphants pleurent devrait radicalement bouleverser nos consciences. Car, dans un monde où se pratiquent sans remords les tortures (gavage, élevage en batterie, vivisection, manipulations génétiques...) ou autres aberrations qui menèrent à la "vache folle", il devient vital de rappeler que le mot animal remonte au latin anima, c'est-à-dire "l'âme".

Abstract

The last decades have brought a significant increase in research on acoustic communi­ cation in animals. Publication of scientific papers on both empirical and theoretical aspects of this topic has greatly increased, and a new journal, Bioacoustics, is entirely devoted to such articles. Coupled with this proliferation of work is a recognition that many of the current issues are best approached with an interdisciplinary perspective, requiring technical and theoretical contributions from a number of areas of inquiry that have traditionally been separated. With the notable exception of a collection edited by Lewis (1983), there have been fewvolumes predominatelyfocused on technical issues in comparative bioacoustics to follow up the earlyworks edited by Lanyon and Tavolga (1960) and Busnel (1963). It was the tremendous growth of expertise c:()ncerning this topic in particular that provided the initial impetus to organize this volume, which attempts to present fundamental information from both theoretical and applied aspects of current bioacoustics research. While a completely comprehensive review would be impractical, this volume offers a basic treatment of a wide variety of topics aimed at providing a conceptual framework within which researchers can address their own questions. Each presentation is designed to be useful to the broadest possible spectrum of researchers, including both those currently working in any of the many and diverse disciplines of bioacoustics, and others that may be new to such studies.
