- Аннотация: Abstract—Investigation of vibrational calling signals of about 500 species of small Auchenorrhyncha from Russia and adjacent territories has shown that more than 10% of the species studied produce signals fully or partially consisting of pure-tone components. Among these species, there are forms dwelling on various substrates including thick tree branches, slender twigs, grass stems, petioles, and leaves. Therefore, it is impossible to associate the presence of pure-tone signals in any species with the physical properties of the inhabited substrate. Pure-tone signals were recorded both in the largest and the smallest forms. Consequently, the type of signal frequency spectrum is not related to the insect size. Experiments under natural conditions confirm the assumption that pure-tone signals are more resistant to noise than wide-band ones. This property may compensate for the disadvantage of pure-tone signals arising from stronger attenuation in certain substrates. As a result, neither pure-tone nor noise signals give unambiguous advantages for vibrational communication. Since the carrier frequency of pure-tone signals of small Auchenorrhyncha increases with temperature, it seems to be determined by the contraction frequency of tymbal muscles, rather than by the resonance properties of any cavity or cuticular structure. Regular frequency modulations occur in the signals of many species; moreover, the calling signals of some species include both pure-tone and noise components. In most of the species studied, “frequency tuning” of their signals to the physical properties of a particular substrate is impossible because of the presence of frequency modulations, temperature-related variation in the carrier frequency, or the wide host range and the absence of strong preference for any particular plant organ. Sympatric species may differ in the carrier frequency of their pure-tone signals. If the signals occupy the same frequency range they sometimes differ in their frequency modulation pattern. Consequently, conspecific signal recognition not only by amplitude, but also by frequency pattern is possible in this case, which increases the efficiency of intraspecific communication.
