Thus, under natural conditions Isophya gracilis occurs together with other phaneropterids Poecilimon similis or P. scythicus, which produce series of two or three syllables of equal duration: 350 and 500 ms, respectively (Zhantiev & Korsunovskaya, 2005).…”

ISSN (online): 1802-8829http://www.eje.cz many species diffi cult to identify. The results of recent cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies contradict morphological and bioacoustic data (Warchalowska-Sliwa et al., 2008;Grzywacz-Gibała et al., 2010). We believe that the investigation of the acoustic signals of Isophya males as taxonomic characters could not only be useful for species diagnostics but also provide additional material for a better understanding of the taxonomic position of several species and evolutionary trends in the genus Isophya. Songs of specimens of different species collected in the eastern part of the range of this genus can provide additional data for analysis of the geographical variability in sound signals. Previously data on the songs of several species were published by Zhantiev and co-authors (op. cit.). However, these results do not contain a full description of song structure, frequency spectra and stridulatory fi les. This article fi lls these gaps and provides new data about some rare species. MATERIALS AND METHODSAdults or nymphs of different instars of bush-crickets collected in natural habitats were brought to the laboratory where bioacoustic and most behavioural experiments were performed. Tape recordings of the calling song of I. doneciana were obtained only in the fi eld. We usually used 3-5 specimens for bioacoustic studies, but in the cases of some rare species only one male was available (see note in the text).Laboratory

“…We use the term click, rather than syllable, to describe each element of the female W. J. Bailey and T. J. Hammond Reply strategies in a duetting bushcricket reply as this sound is not made by homologous structures to the male tegmina (Robinson, 1990). Females usually reply within a defined period following the male call and this critical latency of reply is referred to as the reply time window (Zimmermann et al, 1989;Robinson, 1990). The male uses this latency to recognise and locate the responding female.…”

“…For bushcrickets the species' identity is encoded in the temporal structure of the call (Bailey, 1991), but for many phaneropterines the male's signal is extremely short, consisting of barely more than one or more syllables of less than 1·ms. The female reply is rapid and equally brief, often with latencies less than 25·ms (Robinson et al, 1986;Zimmermann et al, 1989;Robinson, 1990;Dobler et al, 1994). In these cases, where there is minimal information with respect to the amplitude modulation of the signal, recognition by the searching male is achieved solely by the delay of the female reply, and the specificity of this delay may be constrained by a few milliseconds (Robinson et al, 1986;Heller and Helversen, 1986;Zimmermann et al, 1989).…”

SUMMARY Duetting is common between the sexes of phaneropterine bushcrickets(Phaneropterinae: Tettigoniidae: Orthoptera). In this paper we describe the complex duet of an undescribed Australian species within the genus Caedicia. The male's call consists of three parts, of which the final part contains information of the species' identity and most reliably elicits the female's response. The timing of her reply usually occurs within a period of about 1 s after the male has completed his signal but may also start during the male's call. Females reply with brief clicks ranging from 1 to >10,adjusting this reply number to changes in male call duration and intensity. By using computer-synthesised calls, we discovered that the female times her reply both from cues within the male call, when she starts the reply before its conclusion, and from the end of the call, in the case where the reply follows the male call. As the number of clicks in the reply increases so the interval between clicks decreases; the female fits her entire reply within a critical time window following the male's call. The male call intensity had a marginal effect on female reply strategy. We suggest a model based on levels of female motivation, by which females may set the number of clicks in reply as well as the reply latency.
