	abstract = {10.1098/rspb.2000.1040 Female preference functions for different sexual traits can differ significantly, from {\textquoteright}unimodal{\textquoteright} to {\textquoteright}open ended{\textquoteright}. Through the study of acoustic communication in anurans, several studies have reported an association between static (stereotyped) traits versus dynamic (variable) traits and preference function shape (unimodal versus open ended, respectively). Observing a similar pattern in a phylogenetically independent group would suggest that deterministic forces have caused a relationship between signal variability and preference function shape in acoustic signalling systems. We examined this phenomenon in crickets, another animal characterized by intersexual acoustic communication. We measured the within{\textendash}male variability for three acoustic features of the male calling song in and the corresponding shape of the female preference function for each of these features. We offer support for the generalization that open{\textendash}ended preference functions correspond to relatively dynamic courtship traits and unimodal preference functions correspond to relatively static courtship traits. We discuss the evolutionary significance of these findings in the context of the natural history of the species radiation.},

	abstract = {10.1098/rspb.2000.1004 Mate recognition systems (MRSs) play a major role in sexual selection and speciation, yet few studies have analysed both male and female components in detail. Here, female preference functions have been characterized for the tettigoniid bushcricket , and the inheritance of male song and female preference functions followed in crosses between subspecies. Songs are disproportionately determined by sex{\textendash}linked genes. However, there is no evidence for a role of maternally derived sex{\textendash}linked genes in female preference or of maternal effects. At the genetic level, there is a mismatch between peak preferences and male song, consistent with an evolutionary history of persistent directional preferences. Such a pattern of inheritance could contribute to the process of speciation via the evolution of new MRSs.},

	abstract = {10.1098/rsbl.2004.0198 The Australian scaly cricket, , can copulate over 50 times with the same partner; the benefits of such extreme repeated copulation are unclear. We support the hypothesis that repeated copulation increases insemination success, as the number of sperm transferred increases with each spermatophore. This probably increases paternity for males, as on average a female mates with over 40 males. Despite intense sperm competition each ejaculate has only a few hundred sperm, orders of magnitude less than in related crickets. We show that all sperm are transferred from each spermatophore in the few seconds before a female removes and eats it. Repeated copulation increases effective copulation duration while a small ejaculate ensures that this strategy is not excessively costly. Thus repeated copulation in these crickets may have arisen as a counter{\textendash}adaptation to female{\textendash}imposed limits on copulation.},
