We investigated the thermoregulatory behavior, thermal responses (minimum flight, maximum voluntary tolerance and heat torpor temperatures) and the effect of body temperature (T(b)) on call parameters in the cicada Diceroprocta olympusa (Walker). Regression of T(b) as a function of ambient (T(a)) or perch temperatures (T(p)) suggests thermoregulation is occurring. Thermoregulation occurs through behavioral changes that alter the uptake of solar radiation. T(p) is a better predictor of T(b) than is T(a). Thermal responses (minimum flight temperature 20.4 degrees C, maximum voluntary tolerance temperature 37 degrees C, and heat torpor temperature 46.7 degrees C) may be related to the humid, grassland habitat of the species. In contrast to other acoustic insects, no significant relationship was found between the temporal parameters of the calling song and T(b) within the population of D. olympusa.
我们研究了蝉类奥林匹克迪氏蝉（Walker）的体温调节行为、热反应（最低飞行温度、最大自主耐受温度和热蛰伏温度）以及体温（T(b)）对鸣叫参数的影响。将T(b)作为环境温度（T(a)）或栖息处温度（T(p)）的函数进行回归分析，表明存在体温调节现象。体温调节是通过改变太阳辐射吸收的行为变化来实现的。与T(a)相比，T(p)是T(b)的更好预测指标。热反应（最低飞行温度20.4摄氏度、最大自主耐受温度37摄氏度和热蛰伏温度46.7摄氏度）可能与该物种潮湿的草原栖息地有关。与其他发声昆虫不同，在奥林匹克迪氏蝉种群中，未发现鸣叫歌曲的时间参数与T(b)之间存在显著关系。
