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. |
Seahorse clicks could come from a stridulation, an underwater version of a cricket's sound, the researchers suggest. |
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. |
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. |
