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

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 …

Orthoptera have been used for decades for numerous evolutionary questions but several of
its constituent groups, notably crickets, still suffer from a lack of a robust phylogenetic …

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 …

Anthropogenic noise is a widespread and growing form of sensory pollution associated with
the expansion of human infrastructure. One specific source of constant and intense noise is …

Cave crickets (Rhaphidophoridae) are insects of an ancient and wingless lineage within
Orthoptera that are distributed worldwide except in Antarctica, and each subfamily has a …

The relationships among and within the families that comprise the orthopteran superfamily
Stenopelmatoidea (suborder Ensifera) remain poorly understood. We developed a …

The chapter examines characteristics and function of vibratory signals in Orthoptera, which
are emitted by different mechanisms. Detection and neural processing of the spectrally …

Comparative studies of the organization of nervous systems and sensory organs can reveal
their evolution and specific adaptations. In the forelegs of some Ensifera (including crickets …
