The localization of sound is a fundamental requirement for all auditory systems and has motivated much research. Sound Source Localization brings together topics from many specialties.

Reviewing sound source localization capacities and mechanisms in a variety of organisms, this volume provides a synthesis and update on the topic that is both original and timely.

Sound source localization is treated in a comparative context with an emphasis on modeling and computational mechanisms.
