Abstract
Communication by means of sound is not always easy. Sound suffers much attenuation and degradation close to ground. Crickets have adapted to this by exploiting sharply tuned mechanical systems. A coevolution ensures that the calling song of males and the directional hearing of females are tuned to the same frequency.Year: 1998 PMID: 11390756 DOI: 10.1152/physiologyonline.1998.13.1.32
