“…The number of sound pulses perceived at each ear determines the overall walking direction. In a similar way in T. taiwanemma , the preference between two patterns with or without trill is caused by a difference in the number of pulses presented from each side (Honda‐Sumi, ). However, in the present no‐choice experiments, the response of the T. oceanicus females is not just determined by the number of pulses because the most attractive phrase paradigm (444 pulses) contain 7.5% less pulses than the chirp paradigm (480 pulses).…”

“…In Teleogryllus taiwanemma , however, the number of females preferring a song with or without trills does not differ significantly when the total sound duration per unit time is equalized. Experiments by Honda‐Sumi () suggest that the female preference when presented with two signals could be a consequence of different sound density of the stimulus paradigms. Similarly, female Gryllus bimaculatus show reactive steering and turn towards the side providing the larger number of pulses or chirps (Hedwig & Poulet, , ; Trobe et al , ) when presented with the temporal pattern of the conspecific calling song.…”

Male crickets Teleogryllus oceanicus (Le Guillou) produce a complex species-specific calling song with phrases combining groups of single pulses (chirps) and groups of double-pulses (trills) to attract females, which fly or walk towards singing males. In open-loop trackball experiments, phonotactic steering responses to normal calling song phrases consisting of chirps and trills are strongest, suggesting that both components are necessary for maximal attractiveness. Sequences of just chirps or trills are less effective in eliciting phonotactic walking and steering. Split-song paradigms are used to analyze the steering behaviour underlying orientation in more detail. The females' phonotactic steering reflects the alternating acoustic pattern of the split-song paradigm. Analysis with high temporal resolution demonstrate, that even when the calling song is presented only from one side, the steering velocity and lateral deviation towards the song is modulated by steering events to single-sound pulses. Therefore, pattern recognition, which integrates the structure of the song, appears not to be directly involved in the rapid steering response. This organization of phonotactic behaviour with a parallel processing of pattern recognition and steering is similar to other cricket species and may allow T. oceanicus females to steer transiently towards distorted song patterns as they occur in natural habitats.

“…Crickets were individually maintained at 28°C and then their songs were recorded as described previously (Honda‐Sumi,2004). Each adult male was placed in a separate plastic cage (12.5 × 20 × 12.5 cm) and its calling song was recorded using a PCM recorder (Sony PCM‐D1, Tokyo, Japan) and a microphone (Sony ECM‐G5M, Tokyo, Japan).…”

In order to explore a possibility that the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus would be a useful model to unveil molecular mechanisms of human diseases, we performed loss-of-function analyses of Gryllus genes homologous to human genes that are responsible for human disorders, fragile X mental retardation 1 (fmr1) and Dopamine receptor (DopR). We cloned cDNAs of their Gryllus homologues, Gb'fmr1, Gb'DopRI, and Gb'DopRII, and analyzed their functions with use of nymphal RNA interference (RNAi). For Gb'fmr1, three major phenotypes were observed: (1) abnormal wing postures, (2) abnormal calling song, and (3) loss of the circadian locomotor rhythm, while for Gb'DopRI, defects of wing posture and morphology were found. These results indicate that the cricket has the potential to become a novel model system to explore human neuronal pathogenic mechanisms and to screen therapeutic drugs by RNAi.
