Many arthropods, including insects, sing during courtship, mating and territorial definition and in defence against predators. Recent research is brought together in this book which describes their songs, the ways they are produced, and their functions. Professional biologists should gain insights in subjects outside their specializations, and this book should also be accessible to those with some biological experience. It contains new work in the fields of behavioural genetics, sociobiology, biophysics and neurophysiology, and emphasizes the relevance of field studies to laboratory research.
