Abstract
⺠We examined the role of acoustic and nonacoustic signals in house cricket mate choice. ⺠We measured female preferences for male traits in the presence and absence of acoustic signals. ⺠Females had lower latency to mount when presented with a large male, regardless of male song quality. ⺠Females assessed male size using both acoustic and nonacoustic signals.
