SPATIAL ORGANIZATION OF THE BREEDING SETTLEMENT OF TETTIGONIA CANTANS (ORTHOPTERA, TETTIGONIIDAE)
Grabovsky V.I.
During the season in different points of the bush cricket breeding population there repeatedly appear and disappear groups of calling males - choruses. The model is proposed to explain the dynamic aspect of spacing. According to this in each male the optimal level of social stimulation changes m time: the periods of intense desire for social stimulation are followed by periods of desire for notation. The model was tested on 5 males, kept in isolated cages arranged so as to form a star pattern. The analysis of spatial distribution and vocal activity of those males during one season revealed that behavior of the males 1 — is not contradictory to the one predicted by the model, and 2 — refutes the alternative models, presuming the level of social stimulation to be constant.
