Predator detection and evasion by flying insects

Highlights ► Eared insects can assess level of threat in the different stages of a bat attack. ► A cost–benefit decision can determine if an insect initiates a defensive behavior. ► One exposure to ultrasound can alter CNS processing and behavioral choices 24 hours later. ► A graded regression of au...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Eared insects can assess level of threat in the different stages of a bat attack. ► A cost–benefit decision can determine if an insect initiates a defensive behavior. ► One exposure to ultrasound can alter CNS processing and behavioral choices 24 hours later. ► A graded regression of auditory system structure and function accompanies reduced bat predation.
