Sinossi

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.
