Reconstruction of an extinct soundscape reveals ultrasonic communication in the Jurassic

A salient feature of biodiverse habitats is the acoustic landscape, which reveals key animal interactions and their ecologies. Very little is known about the acoustic landscape of long-gone environ...

A New Genus of Andean Katydid with Unusual Pronotal Structure for Enhancing Resonances

Katydids employ acoustic signals to communicate with others of their species and have evolved to generate sounds by coupling the anatomical structures of their forewings. However, some species have...

Changes in wing resonance in dried preserved crickets

Abstract. Male crickets sing to attract females for mating. Sound is produced by tegminal stridulation, where one wing bears a plectrum and the other a win
