Female katydids prefer mates 'cool' in winter and 'hot' in summer

han male calls. The summer call was only attractive at 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit), whereas the slower winter call was only attractive at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).

Schul said further studies, conducted with graduate student Oliver Beckers in the MU College of Arts and Science, may help determine if females force males to use two different calls or whether males having two different calls actually force females to adjust their preferences.
