Conservation of multivariate female preference functions and preference mechanisms in three species of trilling field crickets.
Divergence in mate recognition systems among closely related species is an important contributor to assortative mating and reproductive isolation. Here, we examine divergence in male song traits and female preference functions in three cricket species with songs consisting of long trills. The shape of female preference functions appears to be mostly conserved across species and follows the pred...
متن کاملTemporal compounds reveal interaural biases.
A temporal compound is a complex pattern associated with a sequence of brief (30-100 msec) acoustic events whose identity can be distinguished but whose order cannot be reported. In the present study, two frequency glides were concatenated to form a 400-msec temporal compound consisting of 10 40-msec glides. Fourteen young adults were asked to discriminate these temporal compounds in a same-dif...
متن کاملPerceptual Biases in Consonant Deletion
We demonstrate that adult English speakers make use of perceptual principles in medial consonant cluster deletion. Cross-linguistically, consonant cluster simplification via deletion is more likely apply to the first consonant rather than the second consonant (if both consonants are of equal sonority). Adult native English speakers, were given a two-alternative forced-choice task in which eithe...
متن کاملPerceptual Biases and Mate Choice
Our view of the evolution of sexually selected traits and preferences was influenced radically in the 1990s by studies that emphasized how signals interact with sensory properties of receivers. Here, twenty-five years later, we review evidence that has accumulated in support of this idea. We replace the term sensory biases with perceptual biases to emphasize the growing knowledge of how cogniti...
متن کاملSignal Detection Measures Cannot Distinguish Perceptual Biases from Response Biases.
A common conceptualization of signal detection theory (SDT) holds that if the effect of an experimental manipulation is truly perceptual, then it will necessarily be reflected in a change in d' rather than a change in the measure of response bias. Thus, if an experimental manipulation affects the measure of bias, but not d', then it is safe to conclude that the manipulation in question did not ...
