Herbivory is the predominant feeding strategy in Lepidoptera, whereas carnivory has evolved rarely. The life cycles of carnivorous species, however, remain poorly documented. Here, we confirm that Jud...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

“By axiomatizing automata in this manner, one has thrown half of the problem out the window, and it may be the more important half. One has resigned oneself not to explain how these parts are made up ...

Studies in ranid frogs have shown clear patterns of responses to sound direction in midbrain auditory neurons, in consonance with the ability of males and females to locate sound sources. To explore t...

Modern amphibians are characterized by an aquatic larval stage that ends abruptly with a period of widespread tissue remodeling (metamorphosis) upon transition to terrestrial adulthood. A transient la...

Tiger population recovery brings with it increased fatalities from human-tiger conflict. We describe a network of autonomous intelligent passive acoustic sensors that monitor the forest for deer alar...

Abstract. The evolution of novel animal signals is critical to the generation of biodiversity. Here, we explore how new sexual signals become established.

Abstract. Using the voice to produce sound is a widespread form of communication and plays an important role across diverse species and contexts. Variation

Sound localization is important for all eared animals and the spatio-spectral cues for localization are described through the head-related transfer function (HRTF). Current state-of-the-art for ob...

Synopsis. Males of many insect and anuran species send courtship calls to females from within crowded chorusing aggregations. Despite large phylogenetic di

Urbanisation has rapidly altered the ecological and evolutionary contexts for many species. Using a reciprocal transplant experiment with frog larvae, we find that urban environments can alter morpho...

From student to researcher, a career in science can come with a high price tag. This Perspective explores how persistent financial barriers limit who can succeed in science, revealing how wealth shape...
