Abstract in brief

Receivers of acoustic signals, like the parasitoid fly, can face challenges in identifying species due to temperature changes affecting signal features.
Researchers investigated whether these flies show temperature-coupled preferences for cricket song pulse rates by analyzing their responses at different ambient temperatures.
Findings revealed that while temperature did influence the flies' phonotaxis performance regarding cricket songs, their ability to recognize these songs remained intact despite temperature-induced changes.
