Biomechanics of hearing in katydids [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2014 Animals have evolved a vast diversity of mechanisms to detect sounds. Auditory organs are thus used to detect intraspecific communicative signals and environmental sounds relevant to survival. To hear, terrestrial animals must convert the acoustic energy contained in the airborne sound pressure waves into neural signals. In mammals, spectral quality is

Nature Communications, 2020 Song et al. inferred that stridulatory wings and tibial ears co-evolved in a sexual context among crickets, katydids, and their allies, while abdominal ears evolved first in a non-sexual context in grasshoppers, and were later co-opted for courtship ...

Disentangling the Evolutionary Cause-Effect Relationships of Environment, Sexual Selection, and Body Size With Birdsong Frequency. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe used Phylogenetic Path Analysis to disentangle the causal relationships linking birdsong frequency with body size, environment, and sexual selection. Our results show that these factors interact through both direct and indirect pathways, revealing a complex network of evolutionary influences.
