The Sensory Coevolution of Moths and Bats

  • Chapter
Comparative Hearing: Insects

Part of the book series: Springer Handbook of Auditory Research ((SHAR,volume 10))

Abstract

Coevolution is the accumulation of reciprocal adaptations that phylogenetically distant species undergo as a result of their interactions over evolutionary time. Although the classic definition of coevolution requires highly specialized, one-to-one relationships between the participants (e.g., the proboscises of bees and the corollas of orchids, Darwin 1862), today we recognize coevolutionary relationships in a global perspective that does not involve localized interactions (Thompson 1994). Predator-prey relation-ships have formed the basis for many coevolutionary studies, most using the morphology or behavior of the organisms involved to examine the presence of reciprocal adaptations (e.g., the defenses of cladocerans, Dodson 1998; Riessen and Sprules 1990). Coevolutionary processes between predators and prey can be difficult to observe because of the multiple functions that most animal structures serve, and it can be difficult to determine which parts of an organism’s phenotype have been subjected to the specific changes induced by coevolutionary effects (e.g., are the horns of male deer directed against predators or other males?). Vertebrates, in particular, present special problems in the study of coevolution because of their rela-tively long life span and the complexities of their interactions with other organisms, both predators and competitors.
