The Acoustic Behaviour as a Tool for Biodiversity and Phylogenetic Studies: Case of the Rhammatocerus Species Inhabiting Uruguay (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Gomphocerinae)
2012
Species diversity does have a pivotal role in the study and perception of biodiversity (Boero, 2010). One of the goals of Zoology is the study of the animal diversity, that is, the animal species, and Taxonomy is one of the basic disciplines to achieve it. Currently, biodiversity research requires a multidisciplinary approach (Boero, 2009), many different disciplines being involved, such as morphology, molecular biology, ecology, ethology..., that provide new characteristics to be considered. The study of biodiversity should proceed with the contribution of integrative taxonomy (Boero, 2010), taking into account, in addition to the traditional taxonomy, other disciplines of great utility, such as the study of the behaviour.
