Summarizes the current research findings on the sound communication of insects, emphasizing its evolution within the context of natural history. Combining neurophysical studies with behavioral research, Bailey (zoology, U. of Western Australia) considers not only the physical and physiological aspects, but also ecology, behavior, and evolution. Focusing on the primary use of sound in mating, he discusses such topics as acoustic strategies, chorusing, sound production and recognition, localization, and avoiding predation while attracting mates.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book considers research on insect acoustic behaviour from two divergent approaches to insect behaviour. The first approach involves the current rediscovery of sexual selection and involves the testing of many hypotheses concerning the relative importance of different behavioural strategies to the fitness of the individual. The other approach considers the role of specific neurones within the insect's auditory system. This book aims to integrate these aspects of evolutionary biology and neurophysiology.
