Evolutionary significance of predation on sexually signaling males. Most importantly, each of the C. In approximately 30 minutes of accumulated digital recordings of field observations, playback trials, and recordings of caged cicadas interacting with caged C. University of Connecticut; The experimental finding that the C. We have found that males of many Cicadettini can be attracted by sounds like finger-snaps if they follow the correct song echeme within roughly ms, although differences between species in wariness and strictness of reply timing make some species more difficult to attract than others. P -value shows a binomial test of association of katydid replies with cicada song cues see Methods.

XC Cloud-forest Screech Owl (Megascops marshalli) :: xeno-canto
Tettigoniidae can attract male cicadas Hemiptera: Measurements are accurate to approximately 1 ms. Future studies should provide a more detailed understanding of the origin of aggressive mimicry in C. The cages used were 1. Cicadettine cicadas were collected opportunistically and caged 1—2 meters from caged C. Helversen Dv, Helversen Ov. This remarkable predator is able to mimic a large number of species, including those with which it has never interacted historically.
Illegitimate exploitation of sexual signaling systems and the origin of species.
Versatile Aggressive Mimicry of Cicadas by an Australian Predatory Katydid
When a marsballi cicada is drawn to within a few centimeters of a responding C. Acoustical analyses were conducted on a Macintosh G4 Powerbook using Raven version 1. Demonstrations of predation following aggressive mimicry Demonstrations of predation were conducted on five different dates during — in an ordinary three-person camping tent, in each case using the katydids available to us at the time.
Abstract Background In aggressive mimicry, a predator or parasite imitates a signal of another species in order to exploit the recipient of the signal. Copyright Marshall et al. Species recognition and acoustic localization in acridid grasshoppers: White dots represent locations where C. Author information Article notes Copyright and License information Disclaimer.
Methods Field collection and specimen storage Chlorobalius leucoviridis adults were collected in the field during studies on Australian Cicadidae and kept in cages for up to five weeks, where they survived well on a diet of cicadas, small katydids and large flies, supplemented daily with sprayed water droplets.
Support Center Support Center. Direct observations of clicking male katydids later confirmed that the wings move with each click, so the sound is probably made using the stridulatory apparatus.
Effects and functions in the evolution of signaling systems. Aggressive chemical mimicry by a bolas spider. For example, the katydids sometimes responded only to cueing elements at first, but later began replying to non-cueing elements as well.
Demonstrations of versatile aggressive mimicry Chlorobalius leucoviridis katydids demonstrated remarkable versatility in their karshalli to cicadettine cicada songs.
Versatile Aggressive Mimicry of Cicadas by an Australian Predatory Katydid
Huber F, Markl H, editors. Each trial was preceded by approximately six minutes of light- or dark-acclimation, and the ambient temperature was The bolas spider Mastophora sp. A section of this recording is illustrated in Fig. Such changes could facilitate speciation by changing allopatric populations in ways that isolate them upon re-establishment of sympatry [31][33][34]. Some playback recordings were filtered to remove low-frequency background sounds.
Do the spines on the legs of katydids have a role in predation? Arms races between and within species. Table 1 Collecting localities for Chlorobalius leucoviridis specimens used in this study see also Fig.
A sonogram of the field interaction from Cunnamulla Fig. The formidable spines on the legs did not appear to come into kp3 with prey items [see also 15].
Test of photosensitivity of katydid phonoresponse Preliminary observations suggested that Chlorobalius leucoviridis katydids did not reply to cicada song in darkness, despite the fact that the katydids are active and sing at night.
Tettigoniidae of Australia Volume 3. Predator-prey arms races [27] have been proposed to account for important aspects of signaling behavior including marshlli duration [20][28]the timing and frequency of singing [29]and song structure [30][31][32 p.
