Geographical variation in female and male song preference in Chrysoperla lucasina

Meeting Abstract 85.2  Tuesday, Jan. 6  Geographical variation in female and male song preference in Chrysoperla lucasina NOH, S; University of Connecticut, Storrs suegene.noh@uconn.edu Green lacewings in the Chrysoperla carnea species group are morphologically cryptic but clearly distinguishable via substrate-borne vibrational mating signals that both sexes produce. These species-specific mating signals are important in species recognition. Sexual […]
