Difference in calling song of three field crickets of the genus Teleogryllus: the role in premating isolation

Species differences in courtship acoustic signals among five Lake Malawi cichlid species (Pseudotropheus spp.)

“…These consistent differences in temporal patterning in cichlid courtship sounds suggest that these signal variables may play a role in interspecific recognition in sympatric species of cichlids, including members of the P. zebra complex. In fishes as in other taxa, temporal information is important for interspecific and intraspecific communication, such as species recognition (Winn, 1964; Honda‐Sumi, 2005). In other fishes, e.g.…”

The Distinctive Structure of Social Calls by Hanák's Dwarf BatPipistrellus hanaki

“…Mating calls are species -specific because they function as a species (or even sub-species) isolation mechanism (Marler, 1967;Green field, 1997). The differentiation of social calls in P. hanaki has possibly played a role in the divergence of this species from P. pygmaeus, as in other bats (Jones, 1997;Kingston et al, 2001) and also in birds (Catchpole, 1987), frogs (Feng et al, 2006), crickets (Honda-Sumi, 2005); even in primates (Braune et al, 2008). Alternatively, the unique type B social calls in P. hanaki may be the result of reproductive character displacement post speciation, as in rhinolophid bats (Russo et al, 2007), tree frogs (Höbel and Ger hardt, 2003) and crickets (Higgins and Waugaman, 2004).…”

Advertisement Call Complexity in Northern Leopard Frogs, Rana pipiens

“…Variation in the dominant frequency of calling songs of advertising males across taxa is often correlated with some aspect of body size (Gray 1997, Burmeister, et al 2002, Lode & Jacques 2003, Hodl, et al 2004, Lardner & Lakim 2004, Larson 2004, Gerhardt 2005, Honda-Sumi 2005. The characteristics of the advertisement song are limited both by the overall size of the individual, and by the morphology and musculature of the sound-producing apparatus (Bennet-Clark 1998).…”
