zelandica. The constant din of sound in such aggregations, including continual male wing- clicks, must make it difficult both for females to hear the male cue notes, and for males to determine that wing-clicks are actually replies from females rather than just part of the song of a nearby...
Moreover, as there has bee very little divergence between these two species at the protein electrophoretic level, the acoustic divergence has evolved independently of allozyme divergence. This may imply that in these cicadas acoustic divergence, and therefore premating isolation, may have evolved ...
Unique combinations of plant species are linked with each of the clusters, suggesting that the different populations have independent plant associations. These findings are discussed in relation to similar case studies on cicadas and other organisms, with particular emphasis on the most appropriate ...
Male cicadas produce a loud calling song that attracts females at long range. In some cases, ambient temperature has been shown to have an effect on the temporal structure of this acoustic signal. Here, a positive correlation is reported for the first time between the ambient temperature and ...

These songs, like those of crickets, cicadas and some grasshoppers, are species specific and can be produced in perfect form by males that have never heard a similar song 5 . The fact that insect calling songs are the same even though conditions during their development varied from generation ...
