In this episode, Tiffany Mikulis (Haverford ’25) catches us up on the popular topic of same sex behavior in male field crickets. Is this an adaptation that has evolved to strengthen social bonds? Or is it a case of mistaken identity? Tiffany tells us about a recent study that uses crickets’ social environment as a way to distinguish between these competing hypotheses. Tune in for this engaging discussion (that includes a very special guest!), and ponder along with Tiffany about how the field of Neuroscience has ignored same sex behaviors, especially in females. You won’t want to miss this one!
