Animals use a number of different mechanisms to acquire crucial information. During social
encounters, animals can pass information from one to another but, ideally, they would only …

Social learning – the transmission of behaviors through observation or interaction with
conspecifics – can be viewed as a decision-making process driven by interactions among …

Acoustic overexposure, such as listening to loud music too often, results in noise-induced
hearing loss. The pathologies of this prevalent sensory disorder begin within the ear at …

The ear of the noctuid moth has only two auditory neurons, A1 and A2, which function in
detecting predatory bats. However, the noctuid's ears are located on the thorax behind the wings…

Locust ears feature a simple tympanic membrane of varying thickness adapted to detect sound
energy and transduce it into electric signals that can be interpreted by the central nervous …

… Gordon1*, Elizabeth Klenschi2, James FC Windmill2 … Klenschi designed software to
compile data for the biomechanical studies and ran some trials. JFC Windmill helped …

One of the models of insect tympanal hearing, the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria, has
already been the subject of numerous studies investigating membrane mechanics, …

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is known to be caused by long exposures to intense
acoustic stimuli, yet very little is known of the mechanical and physiological mechanisms …

One of the models of insect tympanal hearing, the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria, has
already been the subject of numerous studies investigating membrane mechanics over the …

In order to better understand insect hearing, different approaches must be combined to
investigate how insect ears detect the different properties of a sound wave, how this signal is …
