Journal ArticleDOI
The structure and function of auditory chordotonal organs in insects.
TL;DR: An integrated approach, using traditional anatomical and physiological techniques in combination with new methodologies in immunohistochemistry, genetics, and biophysics, will assist in refining hypotheses on how chordotonal organs function, and lead to new insights into the peripheral mechanisms underlying hearing in insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomics Reveals the Evolutionary Timing and Pattern of Butterflies and Moths
Akito Y. Kawahara,David Plotkin,Marianne Espeland,Karen Meusemann,Karen Meusemann,Emmanuel F. A. Toussaint,Emmanuel F. A. Toussaint,Alexander Donath,Paul B. Frandsen,Paul B. Frandsen,Andreas Zwick,Mario dos Reis,Jesse R. Barber,Ralph S. Peters,Shanlin Liu,Xin Zhou,Christoph Mayer,Lars Podsiadlowski,Caroline Storer,Jayne E. Yack,Bernhard Misof,Jesse W. Breinholt +21 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the most recent common ancestor of Lepidoptera is considerably older than previously hypothesized, and it is shown that multiple lineages of moths independently evolved hearing organs well before the origin of bats, rejecting the hypothesis that lepidopteran hearing organs arose in response to these predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolutionary biology of insect hearing.
James H. Fullard,Jayne E. Yack +1 more
TL;DR: Insects, with their enormous diversity, are valuable candidates for the study of how tympanal ears have evolved and how they operate today in different habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caterpillar talk: Acoustically mediated territoriality in larval Lepidoptera
Jayne E. Yack,Myron L. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Comparative evidence indicates that larval acoustic signaling may be widespread throughout the Lepidoptera, meriting consideration as a principal mode of communication for this important group of insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonic hearing in nocturnal butterflies
Jayne E. Yack,James H. Fullard +1 more
TL;DR: Hedylids have ultrasound-sensitive ears on their wings to help them avoid bats, and these ears help Hedylids avoid bats.
