Ultrasonic pulse repetition rates triggering escape responses of a moth pest
Mated females of A. nigrisigna selectively avoid ultrasonic pulse repetition rates reflecting a high predation risk that are emitted by predatory bats while tracking a prey. This adaptive response highlights the evolutionary balance between predator evasion and reproductive investment in nocturnal Lepidoptera. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
