Preface
This book provides a comprehensive selection of recent studies addressing the evolution, ecology, neurobiology and genetic analysis of hearing and acoustic communication in insects. Across a variety of hearing species, leading researchers in the field address the key points of current research. The idea for this book emerged when the editor gave an Ernst Florey Memorial lecture at the 2011 Meeting of the German Neuroscience Society in Göttingen. I am most grateful to all my col
