The acoustic behaviour of male Isophya camptoxypha bush crickets (Orthoptera: Tettigonioidea) in the Uzh river valley: preliminary findings

Abstract

The research article presents a study of acoustic behaviour of the bush cricket Isophya camptoxypha from Ukrainian Carpathians. However, it has also been discovered in forest meadows located in the Uzh River valley, which is part of the Danube catchment basin. The article discusses the unique stridulations of this species in vivo and in natural settings, as well as the acoustic interactions between male bush-crickets during duet singing. This study provides valuable insights into the intricate acoustic behaviour of Isophya camptoxypha.
