鸣鸣蝉(Oncotympana maculaticollis Motschulsk)自鸣声信息及其频谱的双倍频特征

本文报道庐山鸣鸣蝉自鸣声信息的长码与短码结构及其部分频谱的双倍频特征。庐山鸣鸣蝉多次重复的“MUYING……MUYING MU A”叫声,仅由三种信息MU(简称M),YING(I)及“A”重复编排而成。M与A的特征类似:持续时间大于170ms,波形具有约为6ms的周期,频谱主峰频率(MPF)约为4kHz,谱能量主要分布在2—7kHz频带内。这是鸣鸣蝉自鸣声长码的近似不变特征。长码I与M,A的不同点是持续期多在300ms以上,MPF为变频特征,在2.7—7.2kHz之间变化,谱能量较均匀地分布在0—14kHz频带内。约为6ms的准周期内含有几个频率不同的脉冲串(PT),这些不同频率的PT称为短码。这表明鸣鸣蝉自鸣声中长码是由变频短码组成的。M与A部分频谱具有双倍频特征,即构成频谱的子谱峰频率为两个倍频序列,其中一序列的共振峰为主峰,另一序列的共振峰为次峰。     

Acoustic communication in Okanagana rimosa (Say) (Homoptera: Cicadidae)

The cicada Okanagana rimosa (Say) has an acoustic communication system with three types of loud timbal sounds: (i) A calling song lasting several seconds to about 1 min which consists of a sequence of chirps at a repetition rate of 83 chirps per second. Each chirp of about 6 ms duration contains 4-5 pulses. The sound level of the calling song is 87-90 dB SPL at a distance of 15 cm. (ii) An amplitude modulated courtship song with increasing amplitude and repetition rate of chirps and pulses. (iii) A protest squawk with irregular chirp and pulse structure. The spectra of all three types are similar and show main energy peaks at 8-10 kHz. Only males sing, and calling song production is influenced by the songs of other males, resulting in an almost continuous sound in dense populations. In such populations, the calling songs overlap and the temporal structure of individual songs is obscured within the habitat. The calling song of the broadly sympatric, closely related species O. canadensis (Provander) is similar in frequency content, but distinct in the temporal pattern (24 chirps per second, 24 ms chirp duration, eight pulses per chirp) which is likely important for species separation in sympatric populations. The hearing threshold of the auditory nerve is similar for females and males of O. rimosa and most sensitive at 4-5 kHz. Experiments in the field show that female phonotaxis of O. rimosa depends on parameters of the calling song. Most females are attracted to calling song models with a 9 kHz carrier frequency (peak frequency of the calling song), but not to models with a 5 kHz carrier frequency (minimum hearing threshold). Phonotaxis depends on temporal parameters of the conspecific song, especially chirp repetition rate. Calling song production is influenced by environmental factors, and likelihood to sing increases with temperature and brightness of the sky. Correspondingly, females perform phonotaxis most often during sunny conditions with temperatures above 22 degrees C. Non-mated and mated females are attracted by the acoustic signals, and the percentage of mated females performing phonotaxis increases during the season.     

The Steppengrille (Gryllus spec./assimilis): Selective Filters and Signal Mismatch on Two Time Scales

In Europe, several species of crickets are available commercially as pet food. Here we investigated the calling song and phonotactic selectivity for sound patterns on the short and long time scales for one such a cricket, Gryllus spec., available as "Gryllus assimilis", the Steppengrille, originally from Ecuador. The calling song consisted of short chirps (2-3 pulses, carrier frequency: 5.0 kHz) emitted with a pulse period of 30.2 ms and chirp rate of 0.43 per second. Females exhibited high selectivity on both time scales. The preference for pulse period peaked at 33 ms which was higher then the pulse period produced by males. Two consecutive pulses per chirp at the correct pulse period were already sufficient for positive phonotaxis. The preference for the chirp pattern was limited by selectivity for small chirp duty cycles and for chirp periods between 200 ms and 500 ms. The long chirp period of the songs of males was unattractive to females. On both time scales a mismatch between the song signal of the males and the preference of females was observed. The variability of song parameters as quantified by the coefficient of variation was below 50% for all temporal measures. Hence, there was not a strong indication for directional selection on song parameters by females which could account for the observed mismatch. The divergence of the chirp period and female preference may originate from a founder effect, when the Steppengrille was cultured. Alternatively the mismatch was a result of selection pressures exerted by commercial breeders on low singing activity, to satisfy customers with softly singing crickets. In the latter case the prominent divergence between male song and female preference was the result of domestication and may serve as an example of rapid evolution of song traits in acoustic communication systems.     

Brain projections and information processing of biologically significant sounds by two large ventral-cord neurons ofGryllus bimaculatus DeGeer (Orthoptera,Gryllidae)

Summary Two ventral-cord neurons in the auditory system ofGryllus bimaculatus were studied electrophysiologically by stimulation with pulses of sound at a single frequency (sine-wave pulses), stridulatory songs, and artificial sounds constructed to imitate the conspecific songs. The sine-wave pulses were varied in frequency, sound intensity, duration, and repetition rate. The stridulatory songs were the conspecific calling, aggressive, and courtship songs and the calling songs of 8 sympatric gryllids (played back at different sound intensities). The artificial songs were varied in carrier frequency, pulse rate, chirp rate, and sound intensity.The LF₁ neuron precisely duplicates the temporal structure of the conspecific calling (and aggressive) song over the whole intensity range (Figs. 7, 8, 10). It is sharply tuned to the carrier frequency of the song (5 kHz) and shows little or no response above 10 kHz and below 3 kHz (Figs. 1, 2). By variation of the calling song's temporal structure it can be demonstrated that the LF₁ neuron is particularly suited to respond to the pulse duration and the pulse and chirp repetition rates of this song pattern (Figs. 6, 9).On the other hand, the HF₁ neuron is a broad-band neuron with a maximal sensitivity at 16 kHz (Figs. 1, 4); it is tuned to the conspecific courtship song with respect to carrier frequency, the short pulse duration, and the very low pulse repetition rate (Figs. 6, 7, 8).The results demonstrate that the two ventral-cord neurons represent highly evolved channels of the auditory pathway in gryllids, each of which transmits important features of the corresponding conspecific songs to several areas of the brain (Fig. 11). But they are not ideal filters for these conspecific songs, since they also respond to many other sound signals (Fig. 10).Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft as part of the program Sonderforschungsbereich 114 (Bionach), BochumUnder the auspices of the scientist exchange program of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Academy of Sciences, USSRWe thank Prof. Dr. Schwartzkopff for his help and support; it was due to his initiative and organization that this work could be done in collaboration between the Sechenov Institute, Leningrad, and the Lehrstuhl für Allgemeine Zoologie, Ruhr University, Bochum.
