This review comprehensively explores the morphology of the mosquito auditory organs – antennae and Johnston’s organs. Spatial and frequency characteristics of auditory sensory neurons within Johnston’s organs are discussed, as well as the mechanisms of mechanotransduction in these neurons. The review presents findings from studies investigating the aspects of mosquito perception of acoustic signals when their auditory system is subjected to vibrations generated by flapping wings. Additionally, the review discusses the significance of acoustic communication in the reproductive behavior of mosquitoes.

В обзоре приведено описание морфологии слуховых органов комаров – антенн и джонстоновых органов. Рассмотрены пространственные и частотные характеристики слуховых рецепторов в составе джонстоновых органов. Обсуждены принципы функционирования механизмов механотрансдукции в рецепторах. Приведены результаты исследования специфики восприятия комарами акустических сигналов при действии на их слуховую систему вибрации от машущих крыльев. Проанализирована роль акустической коммуникации в репродуктивном поведении комаров.
