Topic: recognition network

The function and evolution of calling song recognition networks is central to understanding speciation in insects. Evolutionary changes in the recognition network can compel speciation, so understanding the commonalities in the mechanisms by which song recognition is achieved across species can help define a central or “mother” network architecture that is shared among closely related species in a group. One instance of such a mother network for calling song recognition has been extensively characterized for G. Bimaculatus. A computational model of this proposed network has been shown to recov
