Significance The katydid tympanal ears have outer, middle, and inner ear components analogous to mammalian ears. Unlike mammals, each has two tympana exposed sound both externally internally, with a delayed internal version arriving via the gas-filled canal (EC). combined inputs in play significant role directional hearing. Here, we demonstrate that major factor causing delay is EC geometry. bifurcates asymmetrically, producing additional paths impose different velocities for tympanum....
Early predator detection is a key component of the predator-prey arms race and has driven evolution multiple animal hearing systems. Katydids (Insecta) have sophisticated ears, each consisting paired tympana on foreleg that receive sound both externally, through air, internally via narrowing ear canal running leg from an acoustic spiracle thorax. These ears are pressure-time difference receivers capable sensitive accurate directional across wide frequency range. Many katydid species...
Transparency is a greatly advantageous form of camouflage, allowing species to passively avoid detection regardless the properties surface which they occupy. However, it uncommon and poorly understood in terrestrial species. In one tribe predacious katydids (Phlugidini), transparency paired with highly ultrasonic communication for increased predator evasion, yet little known about singing capabilities these species, only genus Phlugidini acoustically well described date. Here, we describe...
Abstract Early predator detection is a key component of the predator-prey arms race, and has driven evolution multiple animal hearing systems. Katydids (Insecta) have sophisticated ears, each consisting paired tympana on foreleg that receive sound directly externally, internally via narrowing ear canal through acoustic spiracle. These ears are pressure-time difference receivers capable sensitive accurate directional across wide frequency range, despite small size katydids. Many katydid...
