About Rafael Lucas Rodriguez

Rafael Lucas Rodriguez, With an exceptional h-index of 31 and a recent h-index of 22 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, specializes in the field of Evolution, behavior, sexual selection, mate choice, vibrational communication.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

On the function of a female-like signal type in the vibrational repertoire of Enchenopa male treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae)

Static allometry of a threat device that is not a weapon: wing spots in male Heterandrium fallax (Hymenoptera Agaonidae)

Social plasticity enhances signal-preference codivergence

Robust mate preferences despite means and opportunity for mate choice copying in an insect

The direction and strength of social plasticity in mating signals and mate preferences vary with the life stage of induction

Western black widow spiders (Latrodectus hesperus) remember prey capture location and size, but only alter behavior for prey caught at particular sites

A female mimic signal type in the vibrational repertoire of male Enchenopa treehoppers

Positive-to-negative behavioural responses suggest hedonic evaluation in treefrog mate choice
