Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Field Cricket Calling Behaviour: Implications for Female Mate Search and Mate Choice
Amount of calling activity (calling effort) is a strong determinant of male mating success in species such as orthopterans and anurans that use acoustic communication in the context of mating behaviour. While many studies in crickets have investigated the determinants of calling effort, patterns of variability in male calling effort in natural choruses remain largely unexplored. Within-individu...
متن کاملImplications of mate search, mate choice and divorce rate for population dynamics of sexually reproducing species
In this paper we examine how the process of mate search, degree of mate choice and degree of mate fidelity may interact to affect long-term population dynamics of sexually reproducing species. In particular, we address the following questions: are degree of mate choice and degree of mate fidelity correlated? How does mate search shape this relationship? How does longevity affect mating behaviou...
متن کاملCourtship song’s role during female mate choice in the field cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus
Sexual signals consist of multiple components, each of which can contribute to mating decisions. Male field crickets use 2 acoustic signals in the context of mating: a calling song that attracts females from a distance and a courtship song that follows once a female makes physical contact with a male. The function of courtship is unclear because females have already chosen and approached a part...
متن کاملFemale mate choice in mammals.
Studies of mate choice in vertebrates have focused principally on birds, in which male ornaments are often highly developed, and have shown that females commonly select mates on the basis of particular phenotypic characteristics that may reflect their genetic quality. Studies of female mate choice in mammals are less highly developed and they have commonly focused on female mating preferences t...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal dynamics in mate-choice systems
Some species have dimorphism in male; two types of males are distinguishable by their appearance. One is usually large called a dominant male, and the other is small called a subordinate male. The latter male often takes a strategy as sneaker that is usually not very conspicuous, but lives around the edges of dominant males. It sneaks fertilizations behind the dominant male. In most cases, fema...
