“As with birdsong and insect stridulation, impressive amounts of information are packed into virtually indistinguishable sounds.”

“Many biologists have studied the neural control of sound production since Huber's pioneering work in the 1950s on command systems for stridulation in crickets.”

“Male grasshoppers court females by a producing a signal made by alternate stridulation, which is rubbing one hind leg against the tegmen, which produces sound.”
