Intrasexual aggression reduces mating success in field crickets by Eleanor K. Tinsley, Nathan W. Bailey

“…Abstract Aggressive behaviour is thought to have significant consequences for fitness, sexual selection and the evolution of social interactions, but studies measuring its expression across successive encounters—both intra‐ and intersexual—are limited. We used the field cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus to evaluate factors affecting repeatability of male aggression and its association with mating success. …”

How age influences phonotaxis in virgin female Jamaican field crickets (Gryllus assimilis) by Karen Pacheco, Jeff W. Dawson, Michael Jutting, Susan M. Bertram

“…We explored how age influences phonotaxis towards a standard mate attraction signal using a spherical treadmill (trackball) and a no-choice experimental protocol. Female Jamaican field crickets, Gryllus assimilis, were highly variable in their phonotaxis; age explained up to 64% of this variation. …”

Development rate rather than social environment influences cognitive performance in Australian black field crickets, Teleogryllus commodus by Caitlin L. Anderson, Michael M. Kasumovic

“…In this study, we examine how developmental plasticity can affect cognitive ability by exploring the role the early social environment has on problem solving ability and learning of female black field crickets, Teleogryllus commodus. We used two learning paradigms, an analog of the Morris water maze and a novel linear maze, to examine cognitive differences between individuals reared in two acoustic treatments: silence or calling. …”
