MOTOR STRATEGIES
 complex activity, requires
 eg, coordinated operation of limbs
 often rapid & appropriate responses to
environmental signals
 sensory-motor interface... behavior itself
changes requirements of subsequent behavior
MATE CALLING IN CRICKETS
 song production by s only...
 innate recognition by s...
 innate attraction by s
s navigate  s... courtship
 stereotypic song
 many species... many different songs
MATE CALLING IN CRICKETS
 ~ 2600 modern cricket species
 most work on 3 related temperate latitude families:
 bush crickets (Tettigoniidae)
 field crickets (Gryllidae)
 mole crickets (Gryllotalpidae)
 most nocturnal
 high predation... many predators, avoid by
 hiding, freezing, burrowing, fleeing, camouflage
 short calls ~ ventriloquism... hard to locate
MATE CALLING IN CRICKETS
 song production in s by scraping wings together
 several types of song
 calling song
 courtship song
 aggressive song
MATE CALLING IN CRICKETS
 song production in s by scraping wings together
 several types of song
 calling song
 response   = positive phonotaxis
 call & remain stationary... attract single 
 call & move... attract many s
 amplify & direct call using hollow trees, burrows
 courtship song
 aggressive song
MATE CALLING IN CRICKETS
 song production in s by scraping wings together
 several types of song
 calling song
 courtship song
 1 of many signals (olfactory, visual, tactile)
 aggressive song
MATE CALLING IN CRICKETS
 song production in s by scraping wings together
 several types of song
 calling song
 courtship song
 aggressive song
 establish territory
 threaten impending aggression
MATE CALLING IN CRICKETS

several types of song
 1st…how NOT to study cricket songs…
 calling song…
 courtship song
 aggressive song…
 establish territory
 threaten impending aggression
SONG PRODUCTION BY s
 calling by wing scissor
motion = stridulation
 file & scraper on wings
 sound ~ comb
 chirps & syllables
 sonogram... amplify...
SONG PRODUCTION BY s

 oscillogram
 cycles
 carrier frequency
 5 kHz
 1 scraper tooth
 pulses
 = syllables
 1 stridulation
 chirps & trills
 sequences
SONG PRODUCTION BY s
 cricket CNS
 chain of ganglia = functional aggregates of neurons
 linked by paired connectives
 brain (3 fused) HEAD
 sensory input
 subeosphageal ganglion
 thoracic ganglia (3)
 abdominal ganglia (?)
SONG PRODUCTION CIRCUITRY
 meso- & metathoracic ganglia
 motor neurons innervate
 wing elevator muscles
 wing depressor muscles
SONG PRODUCTION CIRCUITRY
 meso- & metathoracic ganglia
 motor neurons innervate
 wing elevator muscles
 wing depressor muscles
 observe a coordinated
sequence of events…
 record from
 motoneuron
 muscle... EMG
 electromyogram
SONG PRODUCTION CIRCUITRY
 correlate with
 tegmen movement
 muscle contraction
 sound... closing only
 note timing of events
 oscillating pattern
 reciprocal output to
antagonistic muscles
 typical rhythmic motor
activity... eg ,walking
SONG PRODUCTION CIRCUITRY
 correlate
 calls (A)
 interneuron
spikes
 motoneuron
spikes
 activity (B)
 inhibition (C)
 thoracic ganglia contain central pattern generator
TRIGGERING A SONG
 central pattern generator (CPG)  call “machinery”
 brain  call “decision”... from 3 experiments:
 focal stimulation in head
  call & courtship songs
 stimulate cervical connective (in “neck”)
  call & courtship songs
 cut off head... stimulate individual neurons in
cervical connective...
  call, courtship & aggression
 single neurons encode each type of trigger
TRIGGERING A SONG
 central pattern generator (CPG)  call “machinery”
 brain  call “decision”
 signals not ~ timing
of calls, only onset
TRIGGERING A SONG

brain / cervical connective stimulation shows that...
1. behavior onset but not pattern timing ~ stimulation
 descending signals need patterning from CPG
2. stimulus freq. ~ rate of chirping
 only rate encoded by brain
3. stimulus freq. or strength   transition from call
 courtship or aggression
 weakest trigger  call
TRIGGERING A SONG

brain / cervical connective stimulation shows that...
4. duration of brain stimulus ~ duration of call
 constant brain stimulus required for call
5. some stimulation  call suppression... stimulus off
 resumed calling more intense, often 
courtship, postinhibitory rebound
 ~ song  courtship in nature
SONG RECOGNITION BY s
  song &  response studied for > 200 yrs
 how do s
 recognize song ?
 navigate  s
... phonotaxis ?
 can test for hrs
 distance constant
never  “”
 many versions of device... different questions
SONG RECOGNITION BY s
 walks toward artificial call
 zigzag pattern
 oscillations 60° ~ direct line to source
SONG RECOGNITION BY s
 what song features attract s ?
 computer-constructed songs played  s
 varied components
 syllable rate
 syllable duration
 chirp rate
 # syllables / chirp
 duty cycle / chirp
SONG RECOGNITION BY s
 what song features attract s ?
 computer-constructed songs played  s
 varied components
 syllable rate
 30 / s
 others not critical
SONG RECOGNITION & LOCALIZATION
 how does the 
 first recognize the song ?
 localize the song ?
 ears on forelegs
 2 tympanic membranes
 ~ 60 auditory receptor cells
 auditory neurons 
 auditory nerve  CNS
(prothoracic ganglion)
 associated with trachea
SONG RECOGNITION & LOCALIZATION
 tracheal tubes = insect “lungs”
 connect tympanum  outside via spiracles
 sound via 2 routes
 direct
 indirect
