More than stridulation: signal interaction and constraint in the complex vibroacoustic courtship of a cricket

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors show the tightest coupling between the two types of stridulation pulses and between tremulation and drumming signals while drumming-stridulation coupling is less consistent revealing a constraint on drumming performance. Foundation, the authors aimed to explore deeper into the male vibroacoustic courtship at the example of the house cricket, Acheta domesticus, long known for its simultaneous body tremulation and stridulation (Alexander and Otte 1967; Hack 1998). The authors focused the attention on their temporal characteristics and their interactions to assess the potential information content of the complex signal. The analysis focused on the same . . .
