Male grasshoppers court females by a producing a signal made by alternate stridulation, which is rubbing one hind leg against the tegmen, which produces sound. |
|
Males of these groups produce sounds by stridulation, which usually involves rubbing the covers of the wings together in a particular way. |
|
As with birdsong and insect stridulation, impressive amounts of information are packed into virtually indistinguishable sounds. |
|
In all species of Laupala, the male song structure is simple, consisting of a rhythmic train of pulses produced during courtship by stridulation of the forewings. |
|
Many biologists have studied the neural control of sound production since Huber's pioneering work in the 1950s on command systems for stridulation in crickets. |
|
Seahorse clicks could come from a stridulation, an underwater version of a cricket's sound, the researchers suggest. |
|
If an indiscriminate sound like a loud motorcycle competes with the stridulation of an insect, the croak of a frog or the song of a bird, the affected animal may no longer be able to send its signal to mates or competitors. |
|
The leaf-cutting ant, Atta cephalotes, is the only well studied species where the behavioral role of stridulation was investigated. |
|
It is uproarious, a universal stridulation, as Dr. Edes might put it. |
|
The Demons were crying now too, a stridulation that rose above the clamor and seemed to pierce the skull. |
|
Primitive bushcrickets and croaking amphibians were among the first animals to produce loud sounds by stridulation. |
|
In these lesser water boatmen the area used for stridulation is only about 50 micrometers across, roughly the width of a human hair. |
|
Systematics and distribution of Brachistosternus ehrenbergii with the first record of stridulation in this genus Brachistosternus. |
|
Lourenco considered the stridulation organ to be synapomorphic for Rhopalurus, a hypothesis that has yet to be tested cladistically. |
