Signals used to attract mates are often conspicuous to predators and parasites, and their
evolution via sexual selection is expected to be opposed by viability selection. Many …

▪ Abstract Parasitoids in the insect order Diptera include an estimated 16,000 species, or
approximately 20% of the total number of species with this life-style. Parasitoids in this order …

When a parasite invades an ant, does the ant behave like other ants? Maybe not-and if it
doesn't, who, if anyone, benefits from the altered behaviors? The parasite? The ant …

Publisher Summary Chordotonal organs are generally found in Insecta and Crustacea. In
insects, chordotonal organs occur in great morphological diversity, and are found at nearly …

Insects are capable of detecting a broad range of acoustic signals transmitted through air,
water, or solids. Auditory sensory organs are morphologically diverse with respect to their …

Articles cies below 10 kHz or above 200 kHz. Higher frequencies improve resolution, but
they attenuate at a greater rate (Surlykke 1988) and the detection distance is reduced …

The physics of sound propagation imposes fundamental constraints on sound localization:
for a given frequency, the smaller the receiver, the smaller the available cues. Thus, the …
