Abstract
Albert (Al) S. Feng (1944 - 1921) was a pioneer in the area of neuroethology of auditory systems. This special issue of the Journal of Comparative Physiology A commemorates his life and work by presenting 15 articles written by friends, students, and colleagues, many of whom have become leading experts themselves in this field. Their contributions not only provide a comprehensive overview of bioacoustics in amphibians and mammals (including bats), but also are intended to inspire a new generation of scientists to advance our understanding of brain mechanisms of acoustic perception.
