Mechanics of a 'simple' ear: tympanal vibrations in noctuid moths by Windmill, J F C, Fullard, J H, Robert, D

“…Anatomically, the ears of moths are considered to be among the simplest ears found in animals. Microscanning laser vibrometry was used to examine the surface…”

Extinction of the acoustic startle response in moths endemic to a bat‐free habitat by Fullard, J. H., Ratcliffe, J. M., Soutar, A. R.

“…Most moths use ears solely to detect the echolocation calls of hunting, insectivorous bats and evoke evasive flight manoeuvres. This singularity of purpose…”

The gleaning attacks of the northern long-eared bat, Myotis septentrionalis, are relatively inaudible to moths by FAURE, P. A, FULLARD, J. H, DAWSON, J. W

“…This study empirically tests the prediction that the echolocation calls of gleaning insectivorous bats (short duration, high frequency, low intensity) are…”

Sound production and hearing in the blue cracker butterfly Hamadryas feronia (Lepidoptera, nymphalidae) from Venezuela by Yack, J E, Otero, L D, Dawson, J W, Surlykke, A, Fullard, J H

“…Certain species of Hamadryas butterflies are known to use sounds during interactions with conspecifics. We have observed the behaviour associated with sound…”

Day-flying butterflies remain day-flying in a Polynesian, bat-free habitat by Fullard, James H.

“…To test the theory that insectivorous bats have selected for diurnality in earless butterflies I compared the nocturnal flight patterns of three species of…”

Jamming bat echolocation: the dogbane tiger moth Cycnia tenera times its clicks to the terminal attack calls of the big brown bat Eptesicus fuscus by FULLARD, J. H, SIMMONS, J. A, SAILLANT, P. A

“…Certain tiger moths emit high-frequency clicks to an attacking bat, causing it to break off its pursuit. The sounds may either orient the bat by providing it…”

The mechanoreceptive origin of insect tympanal organs: a comparative study of similar nerves in tympanate and atympanate moths by Yack, J E, Fullard, J H

“…A chordotonal organ occurring in the posterior metathorax of an atympanate moth, Actias luna (L.) (Bombycoidea: Saturniidae), appears to be homologous to the…”

Auditory Sensitivity and Diel Flight Activity In Neotropical Lepidoptera by Fullard, James H, Otero, L. Daniel, Orellana, Andres, Surlykke, Annemarie

“…If the primary function of ultrasound-sensitive ears in Lepidoptera is to detect the echolocation calls of insectivorous bats, diurnal species should exhibit…”

Proprioceptive activity of the wing-hinge stretch receptor in Manduca sexta and other atympanate moths : a study of the noctuoid moth ear B cell homologue by YACK, J. E, FULLARD, J. H

“…A multiterminal neurone, recently identified at the wing-hinge of the atympanate moth Manduca sexta, is shown to respond as a proprioceptor monitoring…”

Diel flight periodicity and the evolution of auditory defences in the Macrolepidoptera by Fullard, James H., Napoleone, Nadia

“…We measured the 24-h flight activity patterns of 84 species of Nearctic Lepidoptera representing 12 ultrasound-earless and seven ultrasound-eared families to…”

Bat-deafness in day-flying moths (Lepidoptera, Notodontidae, Dioptinae) by Fullard, J.H, Dawson, J.W, Otero, L.D, Surlykke, A

“…Assuming that bat-detection is the primary function of moth ears, the ears of moths that are no longer exposed to bats should be deaf to echolocation call…”

Echolocation in Free-Flying Atiu Swiftlets (Aerodramus sawtelli) by Fullard, James H., Robert M. R. Barclay, Thomas, Donald W.

“…Vocalizations of wild Atiu Swiftlets (Aerodramus sawtelli Holyoak 1974) were recorded as they entered and exited their roost/nesting cave on Atiu Island in the…”
