Evolutionary and phylogenetic origins of tympanal hearing organs in insects

J Strauß, R Lakes-Harlan - Insect hearing and acoustic communication, 2013 - Springer
Among insects, tympanal ears evolved at least 18 times, resulting in a diversity of auditory
systems. Insects use their ears in different behavioural contexts, mainly intraspecific …

Functional morphology and evolutionary diversity of vibration receptors in insects

R Lakes-Harlan, J Strauß - Studying vibrational communication, 2014 - Springer

organisms. Many species deliberately produce such signals for communication purposes …

Structure and sensory physiology of the leg scolopidial organs in Mantophasmatodea and their role in vibrational communication

MJB Eberhard, D Lang, B Metscher, G Pass… - Arthropod Structure & …, 2010 - Elsevier
Individuals of the insect order Mantophasmatodea use species-specific substrate vibration
signals for mate recognition and location. In insects, substrate vibration is detected by …

What determines the number of auditory sensilla in the tympanal hearing organs of Tettigoniidae? Perspectives from comparative neuroanatomy and evolutionary …

J Strauß - Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2019 - JSTOR
Insects have evolved complex receptor organs for the major sensory modalities. For the
sense of hearing, the tympanal organ of Tettigoniidae (bush crickets or katydids) shows …

Tackling an intractable problem: Can greater taxon sampling help resolve relationships within the Stenopelmatoidea (Orthoptera: Ensifera)?

AG Vandergast, DB Weissman, DA Wood, DCF Rentz… - Zootaxa, 2017 - biotaxa.org
The relationships among and within the families that comprise the orthopteran superfamily
Stenopelmatoidea (suborder Ensifera) remain poorly understood. We developed a …

Mating behaviour and vibratory signalling in non-hearing cave crickets reflect primitive communication of Ensifera

N Stritih, A Čokl - 2012 - journals.plos.org
In Ensifera, the lack of well-supported phylogeny and the focus on acoustic communication
