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
exception, hearing in Drosophila, is justified because, due to its
ever growing toolbox of genetic and optical techniques, Drosophila
is rapidly becoming one of the most important model systems in
neurobiology, including the neurobiology of hearing. Auditory
systems, whether insectan or vertebrate, must perform a number of
basic tasks: capturing mechanical stimuli and transducing these
into neural activity, representing the timing and frequency of
sound signals, distinguishing between behaviorally relevant signals
and other sounds and localizing sound sources. Studying how these
are accomplished in insects offers a valuable comparative view that
helps to reveal general principles of auditory function.
