Multidimensional encoding of temporal features underlies song recognition in Floridian Ormia ochracea

Lauren J. Bitner, Jimena A. Dominguez, Luke Bemish…·Norman Lee

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.

Resource competition affects the developmental outcome of the acoustic parasitoid fly Ormia ochracea

Jimena A. Dominguez, Brendan Latham, Lauren J. Bitner…·Norman Lee

This study shows that resource competition negatively affects the developmental outcomes of Ormia ochracea larvae when using Acheta domesticus as a host, with smaller pupae and lower eclosion success under competitive conditions.
