DESCRIPTION:Animal communication systems evolved in order to enable indivi
 duals to behave based upon others. Cricket acoustic communication is a  go
 od model for evolutionary analysis being composed of genetically stereotyp
 ed rhythmic pulse intervals. This system represents one of the most compli
 cated invertebrate acoustical systems\, with songs evolving in very differ
 ent directions in terms of speed\, structure and sound properties.\nWe aim
  to continue the description that has been done previously\, of the singin
 g network in G. bimaculatus and extend this characterization to other cric
 ket species which show very different songs (G.assimilis\, G. rubens and T
 eleogryllus oceanicus). This will be fundamental to understand where sexua
 l selection altered the cricket singing CPG to produce the myriads of song
 s observed in nature.
