COMPARISON OF THE MATING BEHAVIOUR OF A BUSH CRICKET IN THE LABORATORY AND THE FIELD: CALLING ACTIVITY AND MATING FREQUENCY OF A LONG-WINGED SPECIES, PHANEROPTERA FALCATA (ENSIFERA: TETTIGONIIDAE)

Bush crickets are a model group for testing hypotheses in sexual selection, but much of the information is based on laboratory observations on wingless or short-winged species, which may restrict their generality.Here we describe aspects of the mating behaviour of the long-winged European bush cricket Phaneroptera falcata (Poda, 1761).Both in the l

This paper discusses opportunities for alternative collaborative approaches for social-ecological research in general and, in this context, for modeling land-use/land-cover change.In this field, the rate of progress in academic research is steady but perhaps not as rapid or efficient as might be possible with alternative organizational frameworks.T
