Abstract
ACOUSTICS OF FIELD CRICKET (ORTHOPTERA: GRYLLIDAE) SONG FROM A LOCALITY IN GORAKHPUR
Isaac L. Mathew, Deepak Singh* and Harishankar Prasad
ABSTRACT
Acoustical signaling by males is the predominant form of communication in crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae). They produce three qualitatively distinct types of song dependent on the social context. The aggressive song of Gryllus bimaculatus De Geer is very distinct and was analysed for its temporal and frequency characteristics. Despite a large literature on cricket bioacoustics, we currently know remarkably little about the functional significance of cricket song beyond the importance of calling song in attracting females. This study also implores the effect of energy and muscle physiology constraints on the song characteristics.
