Leafhopper males compensate for unclear directional cues in vibration-mediated mate localization
Abstract Ambient noise and transmission properties of the substrate pose challenges in vibrational signal-mediated mating behavior of arthropods, because vibrational signal production is energetically demanding. We explored implications of these challenges in the leafhopper Aphrodes makarovi (Insect...
