Dr. Nataša Stritih Peljhan and Dr. Alenka Žunič Kosi from the National Institute of Biology, together with their colleagues, have conducted several important studies in the field of vibrational communication in insects. Their recent study revealed the complex vibrational courtship behavior of the house cricket (Acheta domesticus), which involves coordinated use of wing stridulation, body shaking, and leg tapping on the substrate. This research shed light on how different vibrational signals contribute to mating behavior in crickets.

In addition, they collaborated on a review of the functional diversity of vibrational signaling systems in insects, examining how different species use vibrations to communicate. Their work makes a significant contribution to understanding the evolution and function of vibrational communication in insects, with broader implications for the ecology and behavioral biology of these organisms.
