Abstract

Summary

1.
The stridulation of the grasshoppers Stenobothrus lineatus, Omocestus virudulus, Chorthippus brunneus and Chorthippus parallelus was recorded on magnetic tape and analysed oscillographically and with an audio-spectrometer.
2.
The various types of songs are described and inter- and intra-specific differences as revealed by physical analysis are shown to reside almost completely in differing pulse repetition frequencies.
3.
The behaviour of adult mature males on stimulation with the normal song of their species is described. Normally this behaviour leads to group singing, with no locomotor movement, but males of all species except O. viridulus when segregated from their fellows for 24 hours or more show taxic locomotor reactions to the source of sound. The locomotor movements cease when a male joins a singing group.
4.
It is suggested that this reaction may be related to the distributional ecology of the insects.

某些直翅目动物的发声及相关行为。1. 雄性的鸣叫和行为分析

Summary1。用磁带记录了细纹小笼蝗、毒笼蝗、褐翅蝗和平行蝗的鸣声，并用示波仪和声谱仪进行了分析。对各种类型的歌曲进行了描述，并通过物理分析揭示了种间和种内的差异，表明几乎完全存在于不同的脉冲重复频率中。描述了成年雄性在其物种的正常歌声刺激下的行为。通常情况下，这种行为会导致群体鸣叫，没有移动动作，但除了绿枝孤虫外，所有物种的雄性在与同伴分离24小时或更长时间后，都会对声源表现出移动反应。当雄性加入歌唱群时，它们的运动停止了。这种反应可能与昆虫的分布生态有关。
