Going silent? Evidence for independent losses of acoustic communication in tree crickets (Insecta, Orthoptera, Grylloidea, Oecanthidae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Our ancestral state reconstruction in tree crickets reveals multiple independent and irreversible losses of sound‐producing and ‐receiving structures, supporting the convergent evolution of the silent phenotype. We demonstrate strong evolutionary integration between forewings and tympana, although the discovery of ‘silent listeners′ and ‘deaf singers ...

Can Innovations That Are Good for Environment Be Also Good Business? A Case Study on Biodiversity Loss Mitigation

R&D Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The adoption of biodiversity loss mitigation innovations (BLMIs) in business markets depends on customers recognizing their value. Current literature lacks sufficient understanding of the decision processes, through which suppliers and customers make the ecological value of BLMIs visible, credible, and economically actionable.

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2427-2447, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Group‐Specific Variation in Heterodyne Frequencies of Biphonic Calls in Resident (R‐Type) Killer Whales Orcinus orca ater

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Biphonation—the simultaneous production of two independent fundamental frequencies within a single vocalization—is a prominent feature of killer whale calls, yet the factors influencing the presence and intensity of heterodyne frequencies, which arise from interactions between these fundamentals, remain poorly understood. We analyzed long‐term

Validated Sandwich ELISA for the Quantification of von Willebrand Factor in Rabbit Plasma

Biomarker Insights, 2010
von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is a multimeric plasma protein important for platelet plug formation. As part of its haemostatic role, it is released from endothelial cells during vascular stress or injury and is considered an excellent biomarker of ...

Seasonal and Diel Acoustic Occurrence of Sei Whales in Oregon, USA

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The behavior, distribution, and life history of sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis) are largely unknown in the North Pacific. We analyzed data from three bottom‐mounted acoustic recorders deployed 25 (shelf; depth = 300 m), 45 (slope; depth = 630 m), and 65 (abyssal; depth = 2860 m) nautical miles off of Newport, Oregon, USA that recorded ...

Formant analysis of vertebrate vocalizations: achievements, pitfalls, and promises

BMC Biology
When applied to vertebrate vocalizations, source-filter theory, initially developed for human speech, has revolutionized our understanding of animal communication, resulting in major insights into the form and function of animal sounds.

Rthoptera: Standardised insect bioacoustics in R

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Almost 100 years after the dawn of insect bioacoustics, freely available and robust analysis tools and protocols are still needed. We introduce Rthoptera, an open‐source R package designed for robust analysis of insect acoustic signals.
