Recognition of courtship song in the field cricket, Teleogryllus oceanicus
The courtship song of the cricket, Teleogryllus oceanicus plays an important role in inducing the female to mount the male, which is necessary for mating. The song consists of a short, amplitude-modulated chirp, followed by a long trill of constant intensity and high syllable rate. Using playback techniques, it was determined which physical parameters of courtship song are necessary and/or suff...
متن کاملCourtship song and immune function in the field cricket Gryllus bimaculatus
It has been assumed that sexual ornaments have evolved to reveal males’ health and vigour for females. Choosy females may indirectly use ornaments as an indicator of the presence and effectiveness of genes for resistance against parasites. In this study we tested whether females of the Mediterranean field cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, can use courtship song as a cue for choosing males with high...
متن کاملRecognition of variable courtship song in the field cricket Gryllus assimilis.
We analyzed the courtship song of the field cricket Gryllus assimilis. The song comprises two elements: groups of ca. 10 pulses (chirps) with low fundamental frequency (3.5-3.7 kHz) alternating with high-frequency (15-17 kHz) pulses (ticks) that usually occur as doublets. Some elements of courtship song are quite variable (high coefficient of variation) both within and between males, whereas ot...
متن کاملResonating feathers produce courtship song.
Male Club-winged Manakins, Machaeropterus deliciosus (Aves: Pipridae), produce a sustained tonal sound with specialized wing feathers. The fundamental frequency of the sound produced in nature is approximately 1500 Hz and is hypothesized to result from excitation of resonance in the feathers' hypertrophied shafts. We used laser Doppler vibrometry to determine the resonant properties of male Clu...
متن کاملThe neurobiology of cricket song.
Nowadays few people live where they can hear crickets singing on summer evenings, but makers of motion pictures know that nothing evokes a bucolic mood more effectively than the sound of crickets chirping in the background. Cricket song, which may seem like a random sequence of chirps and trills, is actually a communication system of considerable complexity. As Richard D. Alexander of the Unive...
