The complex tibial organ of the New Zealand ground weta: sensory adaptations for vibrational signal detection
Abstract In orthopteran insects, a complex tibial organ has evolved to detect substrate vibrations and/or airborne sound. Species of New Zealand weta (Anostostomatidae) with tympanal ears on the foreleg tibia use this organ to communicate by sound, while in atympanate species (which communicate by s...
