Editor’s summary
Young virgin female hide beetles (Dermestes maculatus) are attracted to cadavers by a combination of cadaver odour and male sex pheromones. This research shows that neither cadaver scent, nor male sex pheromones alone, caught the fancy of the fussy females, ensuring that there is both a waiting male and food for her larvae.

Editor’s summary
Mono and bi-gynous mating tactics coexist in Argiope bruennnichi populations, where males make mating decisions based on the size and age of the first female that they mate with, as well as temporal and state-related factors.

Editor’s summary
Sound pulses produced by perch swimbladders are created by both slow and superfast sonic muscles, providing an example of convergent evolution of sonic muscles and an intermediate step in the evolution of superfast muscles.

Editor’s summary
Small group size favours social monogamy in hermaphrodite shrimp, with aggressive interactions taking place in groups of more than two individuals, causing the deaths of newly moulted shrimp which are not part of the dominant pair.

Editor’s summary
Male nightingales have smaller song repertoires in their first year than older males, and overlap songs at higher rates as they age. This is suggested to be a communicative strategy to establish relationships with competing males and choosy females.
