昆虫鸣声通讯研究概述

A Review of the Insect Acoustic Communications

声学通讯是昆虫通讯交流的主要方式之一。昆虫利用鸣声吸引异性、发出警报、避趋天敌。文中对昆虫的鸣声通讯及其研究内容进行了简要的概述,并以分类学为主线,就几种比较典型的昆虫鸣声通讯行为的研究现状进行了介绍,其中包括:直翅目昆虫的鸣声通讯;蝉科昆虫的鸣声通讯;熊蜂的声振授粉;鳞翅目昆虫对天敌的声学干扰;昆虫鸣声通讯的应用研究。对于昆虫鸣声通讯的研究,不仅对理解昆虫的系统演化具有重要意义,也可为我们更好地理解昆虫种间、种内及其与环境间的信息交流模式提供理论依据与基础实验数据。

Acoustic communications is one of the most important methods used by insects.Insects used these acoustic signals to attract females,warn others and hide from predators.This paper briefly introduces the studies on insect acoustic communications,and discusses some typical insect acoustic behaviors according to taxonomy,including Acoustic communications in Orthoptera species,Acoustic communications in Cicadidae,Buzz-pollination of Bumble Bees,Acoustic interference to bats in moths and Application studies on acoustic communications.The studies on acoustic communications will not only give us better understanding of phylogeny in insects,but will also provide more theoretical and experimental evidence for the study of information communication patterns in the communications of intro-species,communications of inter-species and the communications between insects and environments.
