Opis

Bringing together worldwide experts, this book presents an overview of acoustic function and behavior, examining all aspects of insect sense organ and sensory system operation. It includes variables such as body size and temperature; evolutionary and ecological perspectives on insect communication; information on seldom-studied groups, and methods for recording and evaluating insect acoustics. The book's second half provides an in-depth inventory of the communication and song repertoires of a diversity of insects, supported by a DVD. According to the European Journal of Entomology (Vol. 103)"Insect Sound and Communication is an important milestone for all students of insect acoustics. However, it is written for a broader readership, including entomologists, evolutionary scientists, sensory physiologists and neuroscientists, and is also a welcome source of information for ethologists, ecologists and experts in audiosciences."
