... in this study are presented as alternatives, but it is possible that aspects of both the acoustic startle response and typical courtship behavior may have contributed to the origin of the lebinthine female reply. In our study, startle vibrations were produced by G. bimaculatus females whether they were...

...Jeff E. Engel; Ronald R. Hoy ABSTRACT The ultrasound acoustic startle response (ASR) of crickets ( Teleogryllus oceanicus ) is a defense against echolocating bats. The ASR to a test pulse can be habituated by a train of ultrasound prepulses. We found that this conditioning paradigm modified both...
