Communication by substrate-borne mechanical waves is widespread in insects. The
specifics of vibrational communication are related to heterogeneous natural substrates that …

Biotremology is a field of study focused on an ancient way of communication by animals
endowed with specialized organs for emission and reception of substrate-borne vibrations …

Sexual signals are often transmitted through multiple modalities (eg, visual and chemical)
and under selection from both intended and unintended receivers. Each component of a …

Acoustic communication is one of the most well-known behavioural traits of the Orthoptera.
Orthopteran insects and the sounds they produce are both extremely diverse, and species …

BACKGROUND Vibrational signal plays a crucial role in courtship communication in many
insects. However, it remains unclear whether insect vibrational signals exhibit daily …

Animals often signal in multiple sensory modalities to attract mates, but the level of signaling
investment in each modality can differ dramatically between individuals and across species …

In the multimodal communication of S chizocosa ocreata wolf spiders, males respond to
chemical signals from females with visual and substrate-borne vibratory signals for …

The phylogeny of Gryllidea remains a controversy due to inconsistent findings from
morphological and molecular studies. In order to investigate the phylogenetic relationships …

Insects are highly acoustic animals that use their acoustic sensory systems for a variety of
purposes, including detection and evasion of predators. The focus of research on …

Crickets (Gryllidae) produce sounds by tegminal stridulation, extensively studied for its role
in female attraction and choice. However, their close-range courtship song, along with …
