title: The Tuned Cricket.
abstract: Communication by means of sound is not always easy. Sound suffers much attenuation and degradation close to ground. Crickets have adapted to this by exploiting sharply tuned mechanical systems. A coevolution ensures that the calling song of males and the directional hearing of females are tuned to the same frequency.
