Antipredator adaptations

Animal echolocation

Echolocation, also called bio sonar, is a biological active sonar used by several animal groups, both in the air and underwater. Ultrasound avoidance and animal echolocation are animal communication.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Animal echolocation

Aposematism is the advertising by an animal, whether terrestrial or marine, to potential predators that it is not worth attacking or eating. Ultrasound avoidance and Aposematism are animal communication and Antipredator adaptations.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Aposematism

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting primarily of the brain and spinal cord.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Central nervous system

Chrysopidae

Green lacewings are insects in the large family Chrysopidae of the order Neuroptera.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Chrysopidae

Cochlear nerve

The cochlear nerve (also auditory nerve or acoustic nerve) is one of two parts of the vestibulocochlear nerve, a cranial nerve present in amniotes, the other part being the vestibular nerve.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Cochlear nerve

Command neuron

A command neuron is an interneuron whose excitation is both necessary and sufficient to evoke a behavior.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Command neuron

Cricket (insect)

Crickets are orthopteran insects which are related to bush crickets, and, more distantly, to grasshoppers.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Cricket (insect)

Dictyoptera

Dictyoptera (from Greek δίκτυον diktyon "net" and πτερόν pteron "wing") is an insect superorder that includes two extant orders of polyneopterous insects: the order Blattodea (termites and cockroaches together) and the order Mantodea (mantises).

See Ultrasound avoidance and Dictyoptera

Eardrum

In the anatomy of humans and various other tetrapods, the eardrum, also called the tympanic membrane or myringa, is a thin, cone-shaped membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Eardrum

Electrophysiology

Electrophysiology (from Greek ἥλεκτ, ēlektron, "amber"; φύσις, physis, "nature, origin"; and -λογία, -logia) is the branch of physiology that studies the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Electrophysiology

Eocene

The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).

See Ultrasound avoidance and Eocene

Hormone

A hormone (from the Greek participle ὁρμῶν, "setting in motion") is a class of signaling molecules in multicellular organisms that are sent to distant organs or tissues by complex biological processes to regulate physiology and behavior.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Hormone

Insect

Insects (from Latin insectum) are hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Insect

Juvenile hormone

Juvenile hormones (JHs) are a group of acyclic sesquiterpenoids that regulate many aspects of insect physiology.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Juvenile hormone

Lepidoptera

Lepidoptera or lepidopterans is an order of winged insects that includes butterflies and moths.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Lepidoptera

Mantis

Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 460 genera in 33 families.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Mantis

Mechanoreceptor

A mechanoreceptor, also called mechanoceptor, is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure or distortion.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Mechanoreceptor

Moth

Moths are a group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Moth

Neuroptera

The insect order Neuroptera, or net-winged insects, includes the lacewings, mantisflies, antlions, and their relatives.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Neuroptera

Nyctophilus geoffroyi

Nyctophilus geoffroyi is a vespertilionid bat.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Nyctophilus geoffroyi

Ormia

Ormia is a small genus of nocturnal flies in the family Tachinidae, that are parasitoids of crickets.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Ormia

Orthoptera

Orthoptera is an order of insects that comprises the grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets, including closely related insects, such as the bush crickets or katydids and wētā.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Orthoptera

Phonotactics

Phonotactics (from Ancient Greek "voice, sound" and "having to do with arranging") is a branch of phonology that deals with restrictions in a language on the permissible combinations of phonemes.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Phonotactics

Sensory neuron

Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, are neurons in the nervous system, that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded receptor potentials.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Sensory neuron

Sound localization

Sound localization is a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Sound localization

Speiredonia spectans

Speiredonia spectans, the granny's cloak moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Speiredonia spectans

Synapse

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Synapse

Taxis

A taxis (taxes) is the movement of an organism in response to a stimulus such as light or the presence of food.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Taxis

Teleogryllus

Teleogryllus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Teleogryllus

Teleogryllus oceanicus

Teleogryllus oceanicus, commonly known as the Australian, Pacific or oceanic field cricket, is a cricket found across Oceania and in coastal Australia from Carnarvon in Western Australia and Rockhampton in north-east Queensland Otte, D. & Alexander, R.D. 1983.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Teleogryllus oceanicus

Tonotopy

In physiology, tonotopy (from Greek tono.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Tonotopy

Ultrasonic hearing

Ultrasonic hearing is a recognised auditory effect which allows humans to perceive sounds of a much higher frequency than would ordinarily be audible using the inner ear, usually by stimulation of the base of the cochlea through bone conduction. Ultrasound avoidance and Ultrasonic hearing are Ultrasound.

See Ultrasound avoidance and Ultrasonic hearing

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is sound with frequencies greater than 20 kilohertz.
