Chemosensory speciation is characterized by the evolution of barriers to genetic exchange
that involve chemosensory systems and chemical signals. Here, we review some …

The ubiquity of multiple signalling is a long-standing puzzle in the study of animal
communication: given the costs of producing and receiving signals, why use more than a …

The body surface of nearly all insects, including ants, is covered with a lipid layer that largely
consists of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC). They fulfil several functions, the two best-studied …

Many key advances in our understanding of firefly biology and signaling have been made
over the past two decades. Here we review this recent research, which includes new …

Although chemical communication is the most widespread form of communication, its
evolution and diversity are not well understood. By integrating studies of a wide range of …

Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are expressed on an insect's cuticle and are one of the
major factors allowing insects to identify members of their own species, colony and gender …

Abstract Changes in mating signals among populations contribute to species formation.
Often these signals involve a suite of display traits of different sensory modalities …

Many studies demonstrate that differences in mating signals are used by incipient species in
recognizing potential mates or sexual competitors (ie, species recognition). Little is known …

Assessing diversity of discretely varying behaviour is a classical ethological problem. In
particular, the challenge of calculating an individuals' or species' vocal repertoire size is …
