Towards acoustic monitoring of bees: wingbeat sounds are related to species and individual traits.

Global pollinator decline urgently requires effective methods to assess their trends, distribution and behaviour. Passive acoustics is a non-invasive and cost-efficient monitoring tool increasingly employed for monitoring animal communities. However, insect sounds remain highly unexplored, hindering the application of this technique for pollinators.

Phenotypic plasticity of acoustic traits in high-frequency lebinthine crickets (Orthoptera: Eneopterinae: Lebinthina).

Driven by natural and sexual selection, calling behaviours and call parameters can vary within and between individuals. Phenotypic plasticity can be influenced by environmental conditions (e.g.
