Mating behaviour and vibratory signalling in non-hearing cave crickets reflect primitive communication of Ensifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In Ensifera, the lack of well-supported phylogeny and the focus on acoustic communication of the terminal taxa hinders understanding of the evolutionary history of their signalling behaviour and the related sensory structures.

Discovery of a lipid synthesising organ in the auditory system of an insect [PDF]
, 2012 Weta possess typical Ensifera ears. Each ear comprises three functional parts: two equally sized tympanal membranes, an underlying system of modified tracheal chambers, and the auditory sensory organ, the crista acustica.

The complex tibial organ of the New Zealand ground weta: sensory adaptations for vibrational signal detection [PDF]
, 2017 In orthopteran insects, a complex tibial organ has evolved to detect substrate vibrations and/or airborne sound. Species of New Zealand weta (Anostostomatidae) with tympanal ears on the foreleg tibia use this organ to communicate by sound, while in ...

The first mitochondrial genome for the superfamily Hagloidea and implications for its systematic status in Ensifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hagloidea Handlirsch, 1906 was an ancient group of Ensifera, that was much more diverse in the past extending at least into the Triassic, apparently diminishing in diversity through the Cretaceous, and now only represented by a few extant species.

European Journal of Entomology, 2014 Bush crickets are a model group for testing hypotheses in sexual selection, but much of the information is based on laboratory observations on wingless or short-winged species, which may restrict their generality.

Biomechanics of hearing in katydids [PDF]
, 2014 Animals have evolved a vast diversity of mechanisms to detect sounds. Auditory organs are used to detect intraspecific communicative signals and environmental sounds relevant to survival.

The subgenual organ complex in the cave cricket Troglophilus neglectus (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae): comparative innervation and sensory evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2014 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 and tettigoniids), tympanal hearing organs are located in close ...
