I have read bits of Katy Payne's. It has almost no information on techniques
and equipment. For this you must read the original research papers, e.g.:
Langbauer, W. R. (1993). Elephant infrasound: integrating zoo and field
studies. AAZPA (Am. Assoc Zool Parks Aquariums) Reg Conf Proc.
Ben-Ari, E. T. (1999). "A throbbing in the air: The discovery of infrasonic
communication among elephants has given researchers a whole new way of
hearing things. Bioscience, 49, 353-359." .
Payne, K. B., W. R. J. Langbauer, et al. (1986). "Infrasonic calls of the
asian elephant (elephas maximus)." Behav Ecol Sociobiol 18: 297-301.
The following is a useful review of technical info.:
Pye, J. D. (1998). Ultrasound and infrasound. pp 221-249 in Hopp, Owren et
al, eds. Animal acoustic communication: sound analysis and research methods.
