Standardisation of Bioacoustic Terminology for Insects
Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e54222 doi: 10.3897/BDJ.8.e54222 Research Article Standardisation of bioacoustic terminology for insects Edward Baker‡, David Chesmore‡ ‡ University of York, York, United Kingdom Corresponding author: Edward Baker ([email protected]) Academic editor: Therese Catanach Received: 12 May 2020 | Accepted: 22 Jul 2020 | Published: 04 Aug 2020 Citation: Baker E, Chesmore D (2020) Standardisation of bioacoustic terminology for insects. Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e54222. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e54222 Abstract After reviewing the published literature on sound production in insects, a standardised terminology and controlled vocabularies have been created. This combined terminology has potential for use in automated identification systems, evolutionary studies, and other use cases where the synthesis of bioacoustic traits from the literature is required. An example implementation has been developed for the BioAcoustica platform. It is hoped that future development of controlled vocabularies will become a community effort. Keywords insect, sound production, vocabulary, bioacoustics Introduction "Two dangers face the student seeking to rationalize and codify a terminology that has grown up empirically and that is beginning to differentiate regionally or according to faculty or in other ways - as must always tend to happen. One danger is that of legislating prematurely and clumsily for hypothetical future requirements; the other is a too easy-going and long-sustained attitude of laissez-faire arising from wishing to let the mud settle before trying to penetrate the shadows of often chaotic and obscure usages.

Externally, it is a nearly perfect half-sider, with normal male characters on the left and female characters on the right side. In the gynander the male pronotum, tegmen and subgenital plate as well as the female tegmen are slightly longer and the oviposi- tor (valves) shorter than in normal individuals. Internally, besides a full midgut several male accessory glands but no ovary structures were detected. From the original descriptions of gynanders of European Tettigonioidea (24 species in 3 families) aspects of sexual left/right-expression, sexual behaviour, and formation of inner reproductive organs are reviewed. Zusammenfassung Mitte August 2012 wurde in Jena/Thüringen eine gynandromorphe Imago der Punktierten Zartschrecke, Leptophyes punctatissima (Bosc, 1792), gefunden. Der äußeren Erscheinung nach ist es ein fast perfekter Halbseitenzwitter mit Männchen-Merkmalen auf der linken und Weibchen-Merkmalen auf der rechten Seite. Im Vergleich zu normalen Individuen der Region (7 ♂♂, 5 ♀♀) sind beim Gynander Pronotum, Tegmen und Subgenitalplatte der männlichen Hälfte sowie das Tegmen der weiblichen Hälfte etwas länger und die Ovipositorvalven etwas kürzer. Im Abdomen fanden sich neben einem gut gefüllten Mitteldarm zwar ak- zessorische Drüsen (♂), aber keine Ovariolen. Aus den Originalbeschreibungen von Gynandern europäischer Tettigonioidea (24 Arten in 3 Familien) werden Aspekte der sexuellen Links/Rechts-Ausprägung, des Sexualverhaltens und der Ausbildung innerer Geschlechtsorgane recherchiert. -

Tettigoniidae (Orthoptera) Ovipositing in Old Galls of Dryocosmus Kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae)

Hymenoptera, Cynipidae, gall-successor, Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, bush-crickets, oviposition, biology, Italy Abstract. This paper presents biological notes on two species of Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae that emerged from old spongy-woody galls of Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, 1951 collected in Sicily (Italy) in April 2015: Leptophyes sicula Kleukers, Odé et Fon- tana, 2010 (Phaneropterinae) and Cyrtaspis scutata (Charpentier, 1825) (Meconematinae). Between the end of April and the fi rst few days of May a total of 30 neanids emerged from the galls, were reared and their life-cycle recorded. While L. sicula laid eggs in groups, C. scutata laid single eggs inside the galls; both species in a few years have adapted to exploiting this new shelter for egg laying. No interaction with the gall inducing insect was noted. INTRODUCTION spongy-woody galls induced by Cynipidae were collected (Fig. Galls are induced by physical-chemical interactions between 1E) over a period of two years. Overall, ca. 1000 galls were col- plants and organisms, such as insects, mites, nematodes, fungi, lected. These galls were kept at room temperature in a laboratory bacteria and viruses (Sugiura & Yamazaki, 2009).

Using Citizen Science Data to Reveal the Role of Ecological Processes in Range Changes of Grasshoppers and Crickets in Britain
Using citizen science data to reveal the role of ecological processes in range changes of grasshoppers and crickets in Britain Björn Beckmann PhD University of York Biology May 2017 Unter Druck entstehen Diamanten. (Hans-Jochen Steinhagen) 2 Abstract Climatic and land use changes are affecting the distributions of many species and habitats. A detailed understanding of these impacts is critical for conservation and adaptation planning, but much interspecific variability remains unexplained. One reason may be that studies have tended to consider only effects of changes in mean climate, not of annual variation. Using data of the Orthoptera Recording Scheme and additional field observations, I investigated effects of species traits and seasonal variability in weather on the pattern and process of distributional changes of grasshoppers and crickets in Britain over recent decades. I found large changes in the distributions of several species, and relatively greater increases for habitat generalists, species that oviposit in vegetation, and for those with a southerly distribution. In a study of the rapid range expansion of two wing-dimorphic species, Conocephalus discolor and Metrioptera roeselii, I found some of the first evidence for effects of seasonal weather on annual colonisation rates, and for an interaction between the effects of temperature and precipitation. The findings suggest that for some species weather may concentrate dispersal into waves in climatically favourable years. This may increase successful establishment through greater numbers of colonists, and may also be advantageous in fragmented landscapes, allowing species to invest in dispersal only sporadically and under favourable conditions. The results also highlight the importance of considering interactive effects of temperature and precipitation when examining species’ responses to climatic variability. -

Unter dieser Lebensraumzerstörung litten auch viele einst häufige Heuschreckenarten, die beispielsweise in den heutigen Ballungsräumen an Rhein und Ruhr keine geeigneten Lebensbedingungen mehr vorfanden. Durch den seit mehre ren Jahrzehnten anhaltenden Strukturwandel sind allerdings große Flächen, insbeson dere der Montanindustrie, zumindest zeitweise wieder einer Nutzung entzogen wor den. Derartige Sekundärstandorte können sich so innerhalb von wenigen Jahren zu wertvollen Lebens- und Ausbreitungsräumen für seltene Tier- und Pflanzenarten, wie beispielsweise für Heuschrecken, entwickeln. Dabei bemängeln aber bereits HAMANN & SCHULTE (2002), dass die äußerst spannende Phase der Pionierbesiedlung -
