A comparative analysis of Mediterranean and Queensland fruit fly wing-buzzing sounds associated with mating. Florida Entomological Society Annual Meeting. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Male Mediterranean and Queensland fruit flies both produce wing-buzzing sounds during courtship but the functional role of the sounds is not clear for either species. In further consideration of the roles of these sounds, we report on a video and acoustic analysis of Queensland fruit fly courtship bouts, and on comparisons with Mediterranean fruit fly courtship. |
