Here, we investigate how spontaneously walking crickets and crickets engaging in acoustically guided goal-directed navigation, i.e. phonotaxis, respond to mechanosensory stimuli detected by their long antennae. We monitored walking behaviour...

...-deflated controls; however, post-experiment evaluation of swim bladder deflation revealed that a majority of ‘deflated’ fish (88%, seven of the eight fish) that exhibited positive phonotaxis had partially inflated swim bladders. In total, 95% (21/22) of fish that localized the source had at least partially...

... interneurons (AN1), known for their importance in female phonotaxis. The AN1 interneuron is tuned to an average frequency of 4.9 kHz, and the roll-off towards lower and higher frequencies determines the magnitude of responses to pure-tone and frequency-modulated calling songs. The difference in response...

We also conducted female phonotaxis experiments to determine the threshold modulation depth required to elicit recognition of the pulsatile structure of the call. Females were surprisingly tolerant of degraded temporal structure...

Flight phonotaxis was scored blind from videotape. Responses were scored as (1) steering toward, (2) steering away, (3) no response, (4) landing...

During phonotaxis the slow extensor tibiae motoneuron responded to ipsilateral sounds with a latency of 35–40 ms, whereas the fast flexor tibiae motoneurons were excited by contralateral sound. We made intracellular recordings of two tibial extensor and at least...

Female N. robustus showed significant phonotaxis towards call frequencies from 5 to 10 kHz, and spectral selectivity towards higher frequencies did...

Amplitude-modulated signals were equally attractive, as long as the silent intervals were short enough. The maximally tolerated interval duration varied...
