Abstract The Tropical Conservativism Hypothesis and Biogeographical Conservativism
Hypothesis were tested in forest millipedes. Latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) was …

Due to human perceptional bias in favor of air-borne sounds, substrate-borne vibrational
signaling has been traditionally regarded as a highly specialized, inherently short-range …

Vocalizations of anuran amphibians have received much attention in studies of behavioral
ecology and physiology, but also provide informative characters for identifying and …

Rensch's rule predict the negative associations between sexual size dimorphism (SSD) and
body sizes for relatively larger females. This prediction was tested for forest and savanna …

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) was investigated in the millipede genus Sphaerotherium.
Width was extracted from Attems (1928) monograph and used to compare interspecific …

Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling
modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs …

Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) represent a widespread group of land Crustacea that have

Why the Porcupine Is Not a Bird is a comprehensive analysis of knowledge of animals
among the Nage people of central Flores in Indonesia. Gregory Forth sheds light on the …

Intra-and interspecific communication is crucial to fitness via its role in facilitating mating,
territoriality and defence. Yet, the evolution of animal communication systems is puzzling …
