Phaneropterinae is the largest subfamily within the bush-crickets/katydids (Tettigonioidea),
with about 2451 species, and with a world-wide distribution. Its acoustic communication …

Non-nervous auxiliary structures play a significant role in sensory biology. They filter the
stimulus and transform it in a way that fits the animal's needs, thereby contributing to the …

Insect ears evolved many times independently. As a consequence, a striking diversity exists
in the location, construction and behavioural implementation of ears. In this review, we first …

Researchers have long examined the structure of animal advertisement signals, but
comparatively little is known about how often these signals are repeated and what factors …

Parthenogenetic lineages are known to rapidly colonize large areas that become available
after glacial periods as parthenogenetic reproduction is beneficial over mating when the …

The majority of bushcricket species (Insecta: Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) use acoustic signals
for mate attraction. Song production and the sound‐producing structures, therefore, can be …

Males of several animals, including insects, use acoustic signals to attract a sexually
receptive conspecific partner. In the orthopteran chorusing genus Poecilimon …

Scolopidial sensilla in insects often form large sensory organs involved in proprioception or
exteroception. Here the knowledge on Nebenorgans and accessory organs, two organs …

The possession of wings and ability to fly are a unifying character of higher insects, but
secondary loss of wings is widespread. Within the bushcrickets, the subfamily …

Many insects exhibit secondary defence mechanisms upon contact with a predator, such as
defensive sound production or regurgitation of gut contents. In the tettigoniid Poecilimon …
