,Acute as a Bug’s Ear: An Informal Discussion of Hearing in Insects,with others and to make sense of the world requires our ears. This surmise applies not just to humans, but equally well to some members of another spectacularly successful class of animals, the Insecta. When suddenly startled, a person is described as having his or her eyes opened as “wide as saucer

Biophysics of Sound Localization in Insects,evitch 1987, Brown 1994). The presence of the body may disturb the sound wave so that the sound pressure at the surface of the body differs from that in the undisturbed sound wave (diffraction). The sound pressure at a particular position on the surface, for example, the location of an ear, varies w

Behavioral ecologists, for example, focus their interest on the interactions between an animal and its conspecifics, its predators and prey, food resources, territories, etc. Like ethologists, they are primarily concerned with the adaptive

The Evolutionary Innovation of Tympanal Hearing in Diptera,Chapter 1, the diverse developmental origins of insectan hearing organs lead to an assortment of tympanal ears. In comparison with the singular origin and location of the vertebrate ears, insectan hearing organs present a bewildering diversity of form and location. These differences stand in contras

The Sensory Coevolution of Moths and Bats,onary time. Although the classic definition of coevolution requires highly specialized, one-to-one relationships between the participants (e.g., the proboscises of bees and the corollas of orchids, Darwin 1862), today we recognize coevolutionary relationships in a global perspective that does not in
