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

Acoustic communication is enabled by the evolution of specialised hearing and sound
producing organs. In this study, we performed a large-scale macroevolutionary study to …

Signalling via substrate vibration represents one of the most ubiquitous and ancient modes
of insect communication. In crickets (Grylloidea) and other taxa of tympanate Ensifera …

To better understand insect evolution, fossils–mainly known by their wings–must be used as
terminals in phylogenetic analyses. Such analyses are, however, rarely performed because …

Crickets are frequently used as a model in several areas of science, including acoustic
communication, behaviour and neurobiology. However, only a few of these studies are …

Being implied in flight, mimetism, communication, and protection, the insect wings were
crucial organs for the mega diversification of this clade. Despite several attempts, the …

Titanopterans are spectacular, giant, predatory insects mainly known from the Triassic, but
they are known from a few localities in Central Asia (including European Russia) and …

Morphological diagnoses are given for the cricket family Trigonidiidae and its two
monophyletic subfamilies, the Trigonidiinae and the Nemobiinae. Owing to their …

Fossils are more and more used in phylogenetic evolutionary studies either for clade
calibration, or as terminals in a dataset including morphological characters. The strength of …

Acoustic communication is well-known in insects since the Mesozoic, but earlier evidence of
this behavior is rare. Titanoptera, an 'orthopteroid'Permian-Triassic order, is one of the few …
