Insect Hearing
Insect Hearing provides a broadly based view of the functions, mechanisms, and evolution of hearing in insects. With a single exception, the chapters focus on problems of hearing and their solutions, rather than being focused on particular taxa. The

We dedicate this volume to two outstanding scientists and mentors. Franz Huber (top) pioneered the study not only of insect acoustic communication but also of the broader discipline of neuroethology. Ron Hoy’s (bottom) laboratory surely holds the record for discovery of the most “new” insect auditory systems and consistently
extended the known boundaries of invertebrate sensory perception. Their work greatly influenced the development of concepts such as command neurons, central pattern generators, and sensory pattern recognition. All of the editors greatly value the contributions and collegiality of Drs. Huber and Hoy. Both of the senior editors profited from research stays with the Huber group in Seewiesen, and their ti
