Abstract

The influence of the French scientific school on the development of bioacoustics in the Soviet Union in the 1960–70s is discussed. The main influence on the development of Soviet bioacoustics was provided by the Laboratory of Physiological Acoustics at the National Institute for Agricultural Research of France, created and directed by René-Guy Busnel. Soviet bioacoustics adopted the research experience of France in three main areas: 1) acoustic orientation and signaling of insects; 2) theory and practice of acoustic repellents in agriculture and aviation; 3) sonar systems, acoustic communication and orientation of marine mammals, echolocation. The main research centers in the Soviet Union are listed and the role of Soviet scientists in the development of various areas of bioacoustics in the Soviet Union is considered.
