Figure 4.

Female orientation and approach responses to isolated seismic cues from mature courting males and moving crickets. Dashed line represents the null expectation that an individual will orient to any one side of the arena 25% of the time by chance alone. * indicates instances where a female's response is significantly higher than expected by chance (P < 0.05). (A) Females oriented to isolated male seismic courtship signals more often than expected by chance, and mature virgin females oriented more often to a male versus a cricket seismic stimulus. (B) Mature virgin and mated females approached isolated seismic courtship signals more often than by chance alone. Mature mated females also approached seismic cricket cues more often than expected by chance.
