The calling song of male field crickets is composed of stereotyped rhythmic pulse intervals, which are predictable expressions of genotype. Females identify conspecific males by their song. Two species of crickets were found to exhibit species-specific song preference, and hybrids between them preferred hybrid calls over either parental call. These results imply genetic control of song reception as well as transmission.
雄蟋蟀的求偶声由刻板的节奏脉冲间隔组成，这是基因型的可预测表达。雌性通过歌声识别同种雄性。发现两种蟋蟀表现出特定物种的歌曲偏好，而它们的杂交种更喜欢杂交叫声而不是任何一种亲本叫声。这些结果表明，歌声接收和传递受到遗传控制。
