The auditory system of female crickets allows them to specifically recognize and approach
the species-specific male calling song, defined by sound pulses and silent intervals …

In the bispotted field cricket auditory pulse pattern recognition of the species-specific calling
song is based on a delay-line and coincidence detection network, established by the activity …

Cricket song recognition is thought to evolve through modifications of a shared neural
