Male field crickets produce species-specific and stereotyped calling songs. Conspecific females are attracted to the call. Reciprocal F1 hybrid females prefer the calls of sibling hybrids to reciprocal hybrids. Discrimination is probably based on temporal pattern and not carrier frequency of the call. The results imply that production of song by males and its detection by females have a common genetic basis.
雄性田蟋蟀会发出特定物种且模式化的求偶鸣叫。同种雌性会被这种鸣叫所吸引。相互杂交的F1代雌性更喜欢同胞杂交种的鸣叫，而非相互杂交种的鸣叫。这种辨别可能基于鸣叫的时间模式，而非鸣叫的载波频率。这些结果表明，雄性鸣叫的产生及其被雌性感知具有共同的遗传基础。
