From growls to booms, whales, fish and crustaceans all produce sounds. Selecting the gregarious Goliath grouper, researchers deployed a novel automated detector and localization model to find underwater marine organisms using their low-frequency pulse sounds.

Mating causes ‘jet lag’ in female fruit flies, changing behavior
An innovative technique from Cornell University researchers finds seminal fluid protein transferred from male to female fruit flies during mating changes the expression of genes related to the fly’s circadian clock.
When bugs swipe left
Vinegar flies use pheromones to ensure that they court and mate with members of the same species. As new fly species split off from a common ancestor, but continue to share the same environment, they need a way to rapidly diversify their pheromones to suppress inter-species mating. New research identifies a link between the genetic instructions for the production and perception of sex pheromones.
How Moths Find Their Flame – Genetics of Mate Attraction Discovered
Biologists have revealed for the first time the genetics linking pheromone signals produced by female moths and the neuronal response driving male attraction to females. The ability to predict mate choice will help in understanding how species diverge, and how to control agricultural pests.
Lecturer from Buffalo State’s English Department Discusses Mating and Fertility Rituals at the Heart of Valentine’s Day Observance
When you open a Valentine’s Day card with cheerful red hearts swirling around promises of abiding love, you may not realize the influence of a lovelorn medieval poet. Geoffrey Chaucer, who famously authored The Canterbury Tales, has a “reasonably good claim to being the founder…
