Dear List, Is anyone aware of papers demonstrating perception of the missing fundamental in birds? There is a nice study by Cynx and Shapiro in 1986 (cited below), but a concern about that study is that birds have distortion-product
otoacoustic emissions, which means that the missing fundamental may not have been missing (I am grateful to Malinda McPherson for bringing this point to my attention: see:
