Earlier chapters in this volume emphasize the many variations in form and function that play out in the auditory system of insects. As pointed out in Chapter 1, the diverse developmental origins of insectan hearing organs lead to an assortment of tympanal ears. In comparison with the singular origin and location of the vertebrate ears, insectan hearing organs present a bewildering diversity of form and location. These differences stand in contrast to the similarity of the behavioral tasks that are subserved by the auditory system in both vertebrates and insects. It is fascinating to the comparative physiologist to observe the dynamic interplay between the convergence of behavioral function and the divergence of form in the auditory systems of vertebrates and insects. The morphological diversity of insectan auditory systems is very well suited to the comparative study of auditory function, through its biomechanics, transduction mechanisms, or neural processing capabilities. Our understanding of the evolutionary adaptive process certainly benefits from study of the variation and diversity of forms.
