Acoustic evolution in crickets: need for phylogenetic study and a reappraisal of signal effectiveness.

Abstract excerpt

Cricket stridulums and calls are highly stereotyped, except those with greatly modified tegmina and/or venation, or "unusual" frequency, duration and/or intensity. This acoustic diversity remained unsuspected until recently, and current models of acoustic evolution in crickets erroneously consider this clade homogeneous for acoustic features. The few phylogenetic studies analyzing acoustic evolution in crickets...
