Dataset for the paper: 'The Chemistry of an insect ear: Ionic composition of a liquid-filled ear and haemolymphs of Neotropical katydids' Published in the journal Royal Society Interface

The purpose of this study is to examine and to compare the ionic composition of the haemolymph and the ear fluid of seven species of the katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) with the aim of providing from a biochemical perspective a preliminary assessment for an insect liquid contained in the auditory organ of katydids with a hearing mechanism reminding of that found in vertebrates. The present dataset contains the curated data obtained from the instrumental techniques used (ICP-OES) and used to produce the paper's final figures and tables

本研究旨在检测并比较7种螽斯（直翅目：螽斯科）的血淋巴与耳液的离子组成，以期从生物化学视角对其听觉器官内的昆虫体液开展初步评估——这类螽斯的听觉机制与脊椎动物的听觉机制相仿。本数据集包含经整理质控的实验数据，这些数据源自所用的电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法（ICP-OES）等仪器分析技术，且用于生成本文最终的图表与表格。
