This study shows that mating signal traits involved in species recognition diverge rapidly during speciation, while traits involved in sexual selection do not, challenging the idea that sexual selection drives interspecific divergence.

The paper investigates whether a shared neural circuit can recognize multiple temporal scales in cricket communication signals, finding that long-timescale selectivity begins before short-timescale processing.

The paper investigates how dispersal and hybridization feedback loops may explain the repeated evolution of flight in Gryllus field crickets using genomic data.

The paper studies genomic signatures of coevolution between a parasitoid fly and its cricket host, revealing arms-race dynamics and selective sweeps driven by host adaptations.

The paper investigates how Floridian Ormia ochracea flies recognize cricket songs by testing if their preference is based on individual temporal features or derived relationships, finding that both pulse duration and interpulse interval interact to determine recognition.

The paper investigates how temperature affects parasitoid fly responses to cricket song in the wild, finding no strong coupling between song temperature and fly behavior.
