Book Synopsis Tettigoniidae of Australia Volume 2 by : DCF Rentz
Download or read book Tettigoniidae of Australia Volume 2 written by DCF Rentz and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers three subfamilies, all endemic to Australia. The Phasmodinae are a small group with one genus and four species living in the heath habitats of Western Australia. The Zaprochilinae are represented in the literature by two genera, each with a single species. This volume reveals that four genera are present in Australia, one with more than twelve species. Like the Phasmodinae, the Zaprochilinae feed on flowers but, unlike that group where the flower is destroyed, evidence suggests that only pollen and nectar are eaten and the flower remains intact.
Book Synopsis The Tettigoniinae by : D. C. F. Rentz
Download or read book The Tettigoniinae written by D. C. F. Rentz and published by Brill Archive. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the shield-backed katydids, the Tettigoniinae, covering 17 genera and 72 species. The use of tribes has been disregarded until generic classification is made on a worldwide basis. Introductory chapters provide a wealth of new information about the zoogeography of the subfamily, and on the habitats and biologies of the insects. Dr Rentz has also used oscillograms of the katydids' calling songs to effectively distinguish similar species. Other sections deal with the terminology, collecting and preservation of specimens.

Download or read book A Guide to the Katydids of Australia written by David Rentz and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2010-06-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katydids are among the most commonly seen Australian insects. They range in size from about 5 mm to well over 90 mm and occur in many habitats all over Australia. Katydids are masters of deception, imitating twigs, bark, leaves and stems, as well as other insects. A few are brightly coloured and are distasteful to predators. They continue to be research subjects in many university curricula, where students study their behaviour, acoustical physiology and ecology. A Guide to the Katydids of Australia explores this diverse group of insects from the family Tettigoniidae, which comprises more than 1000 species in Australia, including Norfolk and Lord Howe islands. It highlights their relationships to plants, humans and the environment, and includes colour photographs of many species. 2011 Whitley Award Commendation for Field Guide.

Book excerpt: by fireflies on calling heterospeciflcs (Lloyd 1984) or the location of calling crickets by tachiniid flies (Cade 197 5). Sexual selection theory would predict that if there were any risks involved in mating then the sex offering the highest investment should take fewer of them. Given these factors and an inherent risk of detection by predators of calling individuals, males are more likely to signal than females (Thornhi111979). Further, if the quantity (length and/ or loudness) of the acoustic signal were correlated with the risks of exposure, we may predict that insects calling from exposed perches, or in areas of high predation, would use calls with a low duty cycle (the calls are short and widely spaced in time). Belwood provides an extensive account of defensive strategies used . by tettigoniids in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. Her discussion includes both cryptic strategies in avoiding day time predators and also signalling strategies avoiding those operating at night As the signal shortens so selection is transferred from the caller to the searching female, and male location may become more risky than calling itself. At this juncture it may be advantageous for the female to call in reply to the male. This role reversal in signalling often results in duetting where the male calls and the female replies within a very narrow time window. The male now searches for the female, taking on both risks of calling and moving.

Download or read book Tettigoniidae of Australia Volume 3 written by David Rentz and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2001-08-03 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third volume in the series will assist with identification and study of this important genus. Specialised collecting techniques, and the rearing of immature specimens, have yielded many more species than would otherwise have been recorded using only normal collecting techniques. The work accounts for four subfamilies, two of which, the Tympanophorinae and Microtettigoniinae, are endemic to Australia. Each of these endemic subfamilies is represented by a single genus containing several species. Tettigonidae of Australia Volume 3 will be a valuable resource for orthoptera researchers and academics, general entomologists, as well as those with an interest in the ecology and conservation issues related to grasshoppers.

Download or read book The Tettigoniidae written by Winston J. Bailey and published by Springer. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tettigoniidae is the only general treatment of the katydids and bushcrickets of the world, comprising 18 chapters by renowned scientists. It opens with a discussion of the defensive behaviour of katydids in New World tropical rainforests and leads from accounts of their reproductive behaviour to their evolutionary origin. Their most significant feature is acoustic behaviour in courtship. This aspect has allowed scientists to explore the evolution of insect communication as well as details of the physiological processes of sound production and its reception. The family Tettigoniidae displays an extraordinary diversity of form permitting an abundance of methods of arriving at a classification. The final chapters present the first comprehensive modern classification of one of the best known and widespread subfamilies, the Tettigoniinae, where a cladistic and phenetic analysis are compared and the results discussed.

G. D. May 1976 Part III THEORDERSOFINSECTS THE CLASSIFICATION AND PHYLOGENY OF INSECTS The classification of insects has passed through many changes and with the growth of detailed knowledge an increasing number of orders has come to be recognized. Handlirsch (1908) and Wilson and Doner (1937) have reviewed the earlier attempts at classification, among which the schemes of Brauer (1885), Sharp (1899) and Borner (1904) did much to define the more distinctive recent orders. In 1908 Handlirsch published a more revolutionary system, incorporating recent and fossil forms, which gave the Collembola, Thysanura and Diplura the status of three independent Arthropodan classes and considered as separate orders such groups as the Sialoidea, Raphidioidea, Heteroptera and Homoptera. He also split up the old order Orthoptera, gave its components ordinal rank and regrouped them with some of the other orders into a subclass Orthopteroidea and another subclass Blattaeformia.
Book Synopsis The Songs of the Grasshoppers and Crickets of Western Europe by : David R. Ragge
Download or read book The Songs of the Grasshoppers and Crickets of Western Europe written by David R. Ragge and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-14 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the 170 species of grasshoppers and crickets included in this book can be identified instantly by their songs – and often more reliably than from their appearance. Orthopterans have recently become important subjects in evolutionary biological studies and are also increasingly used in the field of conservation as indicators of undisturbed habitat. The book comprises the following chapters: Introduction; Acoustic Methods; Sound Production and Reception of European Orthoptera; The Nature and Function of the Songs; The Value of the Songs in Taxonomy and Identification; Key to the singing Orthoptera of Western Europe, based primarily on their Songs; and other Animal Sounds that could be confused with Orthoptera Songs – illustrated with over 1600 oscillograms; three Appendixes (Check-list of the species included; Summary of Nomenclatural Changes; Data for the Song Recordings); Glossary; References; Index to Vernacular Names; and General Index.
