Habitat-dependent transmission of male advertisement calls in bladder grasshoppers (Orthoptera; Pneumoridae)

It has been hypothesized that the physical properties of the environment exert selection pressure on long-range acoustic communication signals to match the local habitat by promoting signal characteristics that minimize excess attenuation and distortion. We tested this in a unique family of bladder...
