Hyperacute directional hearing in a microscale auditory system
- A. Mason, M. Oshinsky, R. Hoy
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 5 April 2001
The physics of sound propagation imposes fundamental constraints on sound localization: for a given frequency, the smaller the receiver, the smaller the available cues. Thus, the creation of… Expand
High ultrasonic and tremulation signals in neotropical katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae)
- G. Morris, A. Mason, P. Wall, J. J. Belwood
- Biology
- 1 May 1994
Myopophyllum speciosum is a pseudophylline katydid (Tettigoniidae) from the neotropics that generates unusually high ultrasonic frequencies as the dominant carrier in its calling song. Male calls… Expand
FEMALE CHOICE FOR AN INDICATOR OF MALE SIZE IN THE SONG OF THE BLACK‐HORNED TREE CRICKET, OECANTHUS NIGRICORNIS (ORTHOPTERA: GRYLLIDAE: OECANTHINAE)
- William D. Brown, J. Wideman, M. Andrade, A. Mason, D. Gwynne
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 December 1996
The calling song of male crickets, including Oecanthus nigricornis (Walker), attracts females for mating and provides a model system of sexual communication. We give the first conclusive… Expand
Generation of extreme ultrasonics in rainforest katydids
- Fernando Montealegre-Z, G. Morris, A. Mason
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Experimental Biology
- 15 December 2006
SUMMARY The calling song of an undescribed Meconematinae katydid (Tettigoniidae) from South America consists of trains of short, separated pure-tone sound pulses at 129 kHz (the highest calling note… Expand
The mechanics of sound production in Panacanthus pallicornis (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Conocephalinae): the stridulatory motor patterns
- Fernando Montealegre-Z, A. Mason
- Physics, Medicine
- Journal of Experimental Biology
- 1 April 2005
SUMMARY To examine whether sound production in katydids relies on an escapement mechanism similar to that of crickets we investigated the functional anatomy and mechanical properties of the… Expand
Assessment during aggressive contests between male jumping spiders
- D. O. Elias, M. Kasumovic, D. Punzalan, M. Andrade, A. Mason
- Psychology, Medicine
- Animal Behaviour
- 1 September 2008
Assessment strategies are an important component in game theoretical models of contests. Strategies can be either based on one's own abilities (self assessment) or on the relative abilities of two… Expand
Hearing in a primitive ensiferan: the auditory system of Cyphoderris monstrosa (Orthoptera: Haglidae)
- A. Mason
- Biology
- Journal of Comparative Physiology A
- 1 March 1991
Summary1.Insects of the family Haglidae are relicts of primitive Ensifera. Members of this group display acoustic behaviour in the typical ensiferan pattern, with males producing stereotyped acoustic… Expand
Variability in bumblebee pollination buzzes affects the quantity of pollen released from flowers
- P. Luca, L. Bussière, D. Souto‐Vilarós, D. Goulson, A. Mason, M. Vallejo-Marín
- Biology, Medicine
- Oecologia
- 1 July 2013
Buzz-pollination is a plant strategy that promotes gamete transfer by requiring a pollinator, typically bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea), to vibrate a flower’s anthers in order to extract pollen. Although… Expand
The effect of substrate on the efficacy of seismic courtship signal transmission in the jumping spider Habronattus dossenus (Araneae: Salticidae)
- D. O. Elias, A. Mason, R. Hoy
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Experimental Biology
- 1 November 2004
SUMMARY The jumping spider Habronattus dossenus Griswold 1987 (Salticidae) communicates using seismic signals during courtship and can be found on rocks, sand and leaf litter. We examined the… Expand
Seismic signals in a courting male jumping spider (Araneae: Salticidae)
- D. O. Elias, A. Mason, W. Maddison, R. Hoy
- Geology, Medicine
- Journal of Experimental Biology
- 15 November 2003
SUMMARY Visual displays in jumping spiders have long been known to be among the most elaborate animal communication behaviours. We now show that one species, Habronattus dossenus, also exhibits an… Expand
