Acoustic experience influences male and female pre- and postcopulatory behaviors in a bushcricket
2016
Rebar, Darren | Barbosa, Flavia | Greenfield, Michael D.
Male and female bushcrickets adjust a suite of reproductive behaviors in response to acoustic experience. Male acoustic advertisement signals provide a source of information on the range and number of mates and/or competitors in the vicinity. We show that males and females adjust pre- and postmating reproductive behavior according to their prior acoustic experience. Such adjustments may impact the dynamics of sexual selection, and in turn signal diversity both within and between populations.
