Acoustic partitioning pertains to the methods and strategies utilized by insects to coexist within acoustic environments where different species may engage in simultaneous communication while avoiding interference with one another's signals. This review provides an overview of the existing body of research concerning acoustic partitioning in insects. The fundamental processes involved in acoustic partitioning, specifically examine the influence of temporal, spatial and spectral parameters on signal properties. The implications of acoustic partitioning on insects, underscoring the significance of stimulus filtering at the receiver's end is also discussed. Anthropogenic noise is an additional factor that can impact acoustic communication which is addressed at the end. The comprehension of how insects allocate acoustic space contributes to our understanding of their exceptional communication systems.
