Mate preferences are important causes of sexual selection. They shape the evolution of
sexual ornaments and displays, sometimes maintaining genetic diversity and sometimes …

Animal signals are complex, comprising multiple components that receivers may use to
inform their decisions. Components may carry information of differing value to receivers, and …

Anthropogenic noise is an important issue of environmental concern owing to its wide-
ranging effects on the physiology, behavior and ecology of animals. To date, research has …

In chorusing species, conspecific interference exerts strong selection on signal form and
timing to maximize conspicuousness and attractiveness within the signaling milieu. We …

Environmental noise is a major source of selection on animal sensory and communication
systems. The acoustic signals of other animals represent particularly potent sources of noise …

The evolution of the calling songs in Gomphocerinae was evaluated via estimating a
phylogenetic signal of the song characters and an ancestral character state reconstruction …

Animal sexual displays are typically repeated over time and consist of components that are
also repeated within a display, creating potential for within-individual variation in signal …

This review addresses the history of neuroethological studies on acoustic communication in
insects. One objective is to reveal how basic ethological concepts developed in the 1930s …

Prolong exposure to high intensity white noise (HIWN), defined as a heterogeneous mixture
of sound waves extending over a wide frequency range, has detrimental peripheral and …
