Acoustic communication, distribution pattern, and ecology of grasshoppers of the genus Ramburiella (Orthoptera, Acrididae) in Russia and Transcaucasia and some problems of the tribe Arcypterini taxonomy [Russian]

摘要

The acoustic communication and specific features of ecology and distribution of Ramburiella turcomana and R. bolivari were investigated in Russia and Transcaucasia. The calling song of R. bolivari and complete acoustic repertoire of R. turcomana are described for the first time. The acoustic repertoire of R. turcomana includes calling, rivalry, courtship, and jumping on songs. Pallasiella is treated as a subgenus of the genus Ramburiella. The genus Caucasippus is shown to be a member of the tribe Hypernephiini. The importance of amplitude-temporal patterns of acoustic signals in taxonomy of Gomphocerinae family is discussed.
