飞行蚊子熟悉的嗡嗡声是一个重要的交配信号,雌性蚊子飞行音调的基本频率表明她的存在。在黄热病和登革热的传播媒介埃及伊蚊中,两性通过改变飞行音调来匹配声音,从而产生求偶二重唱。令人惊讶的是,匹配不是在400 Hz(雌性)或600 Hz(雄性)的基频下进行的,而是在1200 Hz的共享谐波下进行的,这超过了蚊子先前已知的听力上限。从约翰斯顿的器官(蚊子的“耳朵”)的生理记录显示灵敏度高达2000赫兹,与我们观察到的求爱行为一致。这些发现修订了广泛接受的蚊子声学行为的限制。
The familiar buzz of flying mosquitoes is an important mating signal, with the fundamental frequency of the female's flight tone signalling her presence. In the yellow fever and dengue vector, Aedes aegypti, both sexes interact acoustically by shifting their flight tones to match, resulting in a courtship duet. Surprisingly, matching is made not at the fundamental frequency of 400 Hz (female) or 600 Hz (male), but at a shared harmonic of 1200 Hz, which exceeds the previously known upper limit of hearing in mosquitoes. Physiological recordings from Johnston's organ (the mosquito's “ear”) reveal sensitivity up to 2000 Hz, consistent with our observed courtship behavior. These findings revise widely accepted limits of acoustic behavior in mosquitoes.
