| The observation that the males of many insect species produce repeated stridulatory sounds during the mating season led to the inference that the primary purpose of these noises was to attract a female. |
| Crickets, katydids, and grasshoppers are known for the songs they produce using stridulatory mechanisms, and research concerned with song production is an active field. |
| The pala is not a stridulatory organ, nor has it been shown conclusively that the peculiar strigil of these insects is concerned with sound production. |
| The katydid Neoconocephalus ensinger only ceases calling in response to batlike ultrasound when the calls are played in the window of silence between stridulatory syllables. |
| Unfortunately, the stridulatory behaviour of these insects has not been adequately studied and no recordings of their songs are available. |
| They also failed to exhibit the seeking performances if the male's stridulatory organ was modified, as by removing the file, so that little or no sound was produced. |
