Host shifts and signal divergence: mating signals covary with host use in a complex of specialized plant‐feeding insects (2009, methodology): “2B), we avoid the influence of plant filtering on our measurements (Cocroft et al., 2006).”
Complex courtship displays facilitate male reproductive success and plasticity in signaling across variable environments (2011, background): “…has been suggested to shape male mating signals for maximizing detection and discrimination by receiving females (e.g., Ryan and Wilczynski, 1991; Boughman, 2001; Elias et al., 2004; Leal and Fleishman, 2004; Cokl et al., 2005; Cocroft et al., 2006; Seehausen et al., 2008; Elias et al., 2010).”
Host shifts favor vibrational signal divergence in Enchenopa binotata treehoppers (2008, background): “…research has shown this not to be the case in E. binotata: when males are moved between different host plant species, signal frequency remains unchanged—that is, frequency in these tonal signals is a property of the signaller, not the substrate (Sattman and Cocroft 2003; Cocroft et al. 2006).”
