Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has emerged as a transformative tool for applied
ecology, conservation and biodiversity monitoring, but its potential contribution to …

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is a powerful tool for studying ecosystems. However, its
effective application in tropical environments, particularly for insects, poses distinct …

Night-time light can have profound ecological effects, even when the source is natural
moonlight. The impacts of light can, however, vary substantially by taxon, habitat and …

Effective forest restoration requires tools for evaluating and comparing restoration
approaches. Nevertheless, measuring restoration progress can be difficult and expensive …

Bats are voracious predators of insects, and many insects have ears sensitive to the high-
frequency echolocation calls of bats. Eared insects show a variety of defences when they …

Circadian rhythms are endogenously generated and self-sustaining oscillations that occur at
a 24 hours scale and are ubiquitous amonganimals.. Animals rely on their circadian clocks …

Acoustic communication is one of the most well-known behavioural traits of the Orthoptera.
Orthopteran insects and the sounds they produce are both extremely diverse, and species …

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 …

Many well-studied animal species use conspicuous, repetitive signals that attract both mates
and predators. Orthopterans (crickets, katydids, and grasshoppers) are renowned for their …

To perform adaptive behaviours, animals have to establish a representation of the physical
“outside” world. How these representations are created by sensory systems is a central …
