The size of signal detection and emission organs in a synchronous firefly: sexual dimorphism, allometry and assortative mating

The size of the organs responsible for emitting and detecting sexual communication signals is a likely target for selection. Communication via bioluminescent signals in synchronous fireflies is a promising model to test hypotheses regarding differences between males and females in the effect of the...
