Vestigial singing behaviour persists after the evolutionary loss of song in crickets.

Biology letters - 1 Feb 2018

Schneider Will T, Rutz Christian, Hedwig Berthold, Bailey Nathan W

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary loss of sexual traits is widely predicted. Because sexual signals can arise from the coupling of specialized motor activity with morphological structures, disruption to a single component could lead to overall loss of function. Opportunities to observe this process and characterize any remaining signal components are rare, but could provide insight into the mechanisms, indirect costs and...
