  • The Efficiency of Sound Production in Two Cricket Species, Gryllotalpa Australis and Teleogryllus Commodus (Orthoptera: Grylloidea)
    J. exp. Biol. 130, 107-119 (1987) 107 Printed in Great Britain © The Company of Biologists Limited 1987 THE EFFICIENCY OF SOUND PRODUCTION IN TWO CRICKET SPECIES, GRYLLOTALPA AUSTRALIS AND TELEOGRYLLUS COMMODUS (ORTHOPTERA: GRYLLOIDEA) BY MARK W. KAVANAGH Department of Zoology, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, 3052, Australia Accepted 27 February 1987 SUMMARY 1. Males of Gryllotalpa australis (Erichson) (Gryllotalpidae) and Teleogryllus commodus (Walter) (Gryllidae) produced their calling songs while confined in respirometers. 2. G. australis males used oxygen during calling at a mean rate of 4-637 ml O2h^', equivalent to 27-65mW of metabolic energy, which was 13 times higher than the resting metabolic rate. T. commodus males used oxygen during calling at a rate of 0-728 ml O2h~', equivalent to 4-34mW, which was four times the resting metabolic rate. 3. The sound field during calling by males represents a sound power output of 0-27 mW for G. australis and l-51XlO~3mW for T. commodus. 4. The efficiency of sound production was 1-05% for males of G. australis and 0-05 % for males of T. commodus. Comparison with other insect species suggests that none is more than a few percent efficient in sound production. INTRODUCTION Many insect species produce stereotyped acoustic signals that are important in intraspecific communication. In most species that communicate by sound, the male's calling song, which seems to attract conspecific females, is the most obvious and the most important component of the repertoire. Production of the calling song will involve a cost to the producer in the form of an increased use of metabolic energy.

  • THE QUARTERLY REVIEW of BIOLOGY
    VOL. 43, NO. I March, 1968 THE QUARTERLY REVIEW of BIOLOGY LIFE CYCLE ORIGINS, SPECIATION, AND RELATED PHENOMENA IN CRICKETS BY RICHARD D. ALEXANDER Museum of Zoology and Departmentof Zoology The Universityof Michigan,Ann Arbor ABSTRACT Seven general kinds of life cycles are known among crickets; they differ chieff,y in overwintering (diapause) stage and number of generations per season, or diapauses per generation. Some species with broad north-south ranges vary in these respects, spanning wholly or in part certain of the gaps between cycles and suggesting how some of the differences originated. Species with a particular cycle have predictable responses to photoperiod and temperature regimes that affect behavior, development time, wing length, bod)• size, and other characteristics. Some polymorphic tendencies also correlate with habitat permanence, and some are influenced by population density. Genera and subfamilies with several kinds of life cycles usually have proportionately more species in temperate regions than those with but one or two cycles, although numbers of species in all widely distributed groups diminish toward the higher lati­ tudes. The tendency of various field cricket species to become double-cycled at certain latitudes appears to have resulted in speciation without geographic isolation in at least one case. Intermediate steps in this allochronic speciation process are illustrated by North American and Japanese species; the possibility that this process has also occurred in other kinds of temperate insects is discussed. INTRODUCTION the Gryllidae at least to the Jurassic Period (Zeuner, 1939), and many of the larger sub­ RICKETS are insects of the Family families and genera have spread across two Gryllidae in the Order Orthoptera, or more continents.

  • Flexibility in Male Phonotaxis Behavior and the Loss of Singing Ability In
    Behavioral Ecology doi:10.1093/beheco/arp052 Advance Access publication 9 April 2009 Preexisting behavior renders a mutation adaptive: flexibility in male phonotaxis behavior and the loss of singing ability in the field cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus Downloaded from Robin M. Tinghitella, Jeffrey M. Wang, and Marlene Zuk Department of Biology, University of California-Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA http://beheco.oxfordjournals.org/ Flexibility in behavior and other traits can pave the way for rapid evolutionary change. A wing mutation, ‘‘flatwing,’’ eliminates the ability of .90% of male field crickets (Teleogryllus oceanicus) from one Hawaiian population to produce song to attract females. The morphological change was favored because calling is risky in Hawaii, attracting deadly parasitoid flies. An earlier study suggested that instead of calling, silent flatwing males use satellite behavior, approaching one of the few remaining callers and intercepting females attracted to them. Satellite-like behavior may have existed as a behavioral option prior to the wing mutation, accommodating the loss of singing ability, or behavior may have changed simultaneously with the spread of the mutation. In phonotaxis trials, males from different populations across the crickets’ range varied in the distance at which they settled from the source of broadcast song, behaving more or less like satellites. Anecdotally, we noted satellite behavior in all populations, and importantly, males from the mutated population and its direct ancestor behaved similarly. This suggests that the alternative behavior is not strictly associated with the mutation and instead predated the change in morphology. We hypothesized at University of Minnesota,Walter Library Serial Processing on May 28, 2014 further that satellite behavior may have been preexisting because it is beneficial under other circumstances, such as poor mating success.

  • Recognition of Courtship Song in the Field Cricket, Teleogryllus Oceanicus
    Anim. Behav., 1996, 51, 353–366 Recognition of courtship song in the field cricket, Teleogryllus oceanicus ROHINI BALAKRISHNAN & GERALD S. POLLACK Department of Biology, McGill University (Received 4 November 1994; initial acceptance 9 February 1995; final acceptance 9 June 1995; MS. number: 7146) Abstract. The courtship song of the cricket, Teleogryllus oceanicus plays an important role in inducing the female to mount the male, which is necessary for mating. The song consists of a short, amplitude-modulated chirp, followed by a long trill of constant intensity and high syllable rate. Using playback techniques, it was determined which physical parameters of courtship song are necessary and/or sufficient to evoke normal female mounting of muted, courting males. The higher harmonics of natural courtship song were neither necessary nor sufficient for the effectiveness of the song. The chirp component alone was sufficient to evoke normal levels of mounting, but the trill was only partially effective on its own. The conspicuous amplitude modulation of the chirp was not necessary to evoke normal responses. The results suggest that the high effectiveness of the chirp is due to its characteristic temporal pattern. As in other cricket species, the song repertoire of T. oceanicus also includes distinct calling and aggression songs, which contain chirps that are structurally similar to the courtship chirp. Both calling and aggression songs evoked normal mounting responses when played back in the context of courtship. ? 1996 The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour Crickets use acoustic signals to communicate and courtship songs are recognized share common with each other. These signals take the form of or similar features.

  • Dim Artificial Light at Night Reduces the Cellular Immune Response of The
    Insect Science (2020) 27, 571–582, DOI 10.1111/1744-7917.12665 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Dim artificial light at night reduces the cellular immune response of the black field cricket, Teleogryllus commodus Joanna Durrant, Mark P. Green and Theresa´ M. Jones The School of BioSciences, Faculty of Science, University of Melbourne, Victoria, 3010, Australia Abstract A functioning immune system is crucial for protection against disease and ill- ness, yet increasing evidence suggests that species living in urban areas could be suffering from immune suppression, due to the presence of artificial light at night (ALAN). This study examined the effects of ecologically relevant levels of ALAN on three key measures of immune function (haemocyte concentration, lytic activity, and phenoloxidase activity) using a model invertebrate species, the Australian black field cricket, Teleogryllus com- modus. We reared crickets under an ecologically relevant daily light-cycle consisting of 12 hr bright daylight (2600 lx) followed by either 12 h darkness (0 lx) or dim environ- mentally relevant ALAN (1, 10, 100 lx), and then assessed immune function at multiple time points throughout adult life using haemolymph samples. We found that the presence of ALAN had a clear negative effect on haemocytes, while the effects on lytic activity and phenoloxidase activity were more complex or largely unaffected by ALAN. Further- more, the effects of lifelong exposure to ALAN of 1 lx were comparable to those of 10 and 100 lx. Our data suggest that the effects of ALAN could be large and widespread, and such reductions in the core immune response of individuals will likely have greater consequences for fitness and survival under more malign conditions, such as those of the natural environment.

Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock.
