Description

This volume on insects introduces the hearing research community and entomologists to the extensive but often unfamiliar literature on the ways that insects detect and process sounds. Each of the chapters is written by a leading expert in the field, and together they comprise the first comprehensive treatment of insect hearing. Starting with a discussion of insect taxonomy and an overview of the insects that are known to hear and use sound in communication. All of the chapters are conceptual, providing not only an appreciation of insect hearing but also discussion of major questions for the future. This volume also gives the reader considerable insight into applications to other animal models.
