Acoustic Behaviour and Auditory System in Insects

  • Chapter

Abstract

Some insects especially those of the families Gryllidae, Acrididae, Tettigoniidae (Orthoptera) and Cicadidae (Homoptera) developed in the course of evolution highly specialized systems of acoustic communication. Many laboratories are now concerned with insects because their system of acoustic communication is a good model for analysis of mechanisms that living beings use for discrimination of complex amplitude modulated sounds.
