Abstract: Significance Extinct animals usually had complex acoustic behavior, but fossils reveal little of these details. Here, we report the earliest insect ears and sound-producing system found in Mesozoic katydids. These katydids evolved unexpectedly high acoustic… read more here.

Abstract: In evolutionary robotics, an encoding of the control software that maps sensor data (input) to motor control values (output) is shaped by stochastic optimization methods to complete a predefined task. This approach is assumed to… read more here.
