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
