Clemens J, Ronacher B, Reichert M
Proc Biol Sci
. 2021 Feb;
288(1945):20210005.
PMID: 33593184
Speed-accuracy trade-offs-being fast at the risk of being wrong-are fundamental to many decisions and natural selection is expected to resolve these trade-offs according to the costs and benefits of behaviour....

. 2020 Feb;
206(3):379-387.
PMID: 32020292
Desert ants use path integration to return from foraging excursions on a shortcut way to their nests. Intriguingly, when walking over hills, the ants incorporate the ground distance, the paths'...

J Exp Biol
. 2019 Nov;
222(Pt 23).
PMID: 31753909
Sound localization is fundamental to hearing. In nature, sound degradation and noise erode directional cues and can generate conflicting directional perceptions across different subcomponents of sounds. Little is known about...

J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2019 Jan;
205(1):33-50.
PMID: 30617601
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, such as innate releasing...

Aufderheide J, Ronacher B
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2018 Dec;
205(1):103-111.
PMID: 30506392
Female responsiveness and the shape of preference functions for male signal traits are important determinants for male mating success. We observed the responsiveness and the selectivity of virgin grasshopper females...

Kramer S, Ronacher B
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2018 Jan;
204(3):319-328.
PMID: 29294159
Noise is a challenge for animals that use acoustic communication to find a mate. A potent source of noise in animal communication is that arising from other conspecific signals, whose...

J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2017 Jul;
203(11):891-901.
PMID: 28733816
The decision with whom to mate is crucial in determining an individual's fitness and is often based on the evaluation of visual or acoustic displays produced during courtship. Accordingly, the...

Evolution
. 2017 Feb;
71(4):1009-1024.
PMID: 28186332
A major challenge in evolutionary biology is explaining the origins of complex phenotypic diversity. In animal communication, complex signals may evolve from simpler signals because novel signal elements exploit preexisting...

Sci Rep
. 2016 Sep;

PMID: 27677406
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) play a major role in the evolution of reproductive isolation between insect species. The CHC profiles of two closely related sympatric grasshopper species, Chorthippus biguttulus and C....

J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2016 Mar;
202(5):337-45.
PMID: 27025933
Gomphocerine grasshoppers use species-specific calling songs for sex recognition and mate attraction. In two closely related species, Chorthippus biguttulus and C. mollis, acoustic communication is the only experimentally characterized communication...
