Field crickets are best known for the loud calling songs produced by males to attract
conspecific females. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge of the …

Mating is essential for the reproduction of animal species. As mating behaviors are high-risk
and energy-consuming processes, it is critical for animals to make adaptive mating …

Acoustic signals serve communication within and across species throughout the animal
kingdom. Studying the genetics, evolution, and neurobiology of acoustic communication …

Physical contact is prevalent in the animal kingdom to recognize suitable mates by decoding
information about sex, species, and maturity. Although chemical cues for mate recognition …

Following the modern synthesis, mating signals were thought of principally as species
recognition traits, a view later challenged by a burgeoning interest in sexual selection …

Animals communicate using sounds in a wide range of contexts, and auditory systems must
encode behaviorally relevant acoustic features to drive appropriate reactions. How feature …

Courtship interactions are remarkably diverse in form and complexity among species. How
neural circuits evolve to encode new behaviors that are functionally integrated into these …

Many animals detect other individuals effortlessly. In Drosophila, previous studies have
examined sensory processing during social interactions using simple blobs as visual …

This review discusses how the nervous system controls the complex body movements
kee** animals up and running. In particular, we revisit how research in insects has shed …

Vocal communication is used across extant vertebrates, is evolutionarily ancient, and been
maintained, in many lineages. Here I review the neural circuit architectures that support …
