The paper tests the standard model of behavioral individuality by comparing among-individual variation in inbred and outbred crickets, finding greater variance in outbred lines.

This study tests if crickets respond to predator vocalizations by measuring their behavior, finding they do not distinguish between predator and non-predator sounds.

This study performs a global meta-analysis of urban-associated behavioral differences across species, finding increased boldness, aggression, exploration, and activity in urban populations.

This study examines how direct and indirect effects influence agonistic behaviors in house crickets, showing varying impacts on aggression initiation and stridulation traits.

The paper develops statistical methods to detect social buffering effects using mixed-effects models and demonstrates their power and accuracy in empirical studies.

This paper tests whether comparing eigenvalues of observed genetic covariance matrices to random matrices can identify dimensions with minimal variation.

The paper shows that conserved genetic architecture of behavioral syndromes constrains evolutionary divergence in field crickets across populations.
