我们已经调查了雄性蟋蟀生殖器的形态和生理，以建立其生殖行为的神经行为学研究的基础。首先，阴茎复合体的结构，包括背袋，导杆，阴茎上，腹叶和中间袋，是肌肉，角质层，膜和生物力学交配。还检查了神经支配和感觉受体。第二，肌肉在每个生殖器官中的功能作用已经通过在自发或诱发运动期间直接观察肌肉收缩以及通过分析肌肉消融后的运动变化来确定。第三，用凡士林对腹叶和中囊等柔性膜器官的血淋巴通道及其动力学特性进行了研究。第四，内部和外部的生殖器官，这是在限制和解剖的男性使用新开发的技术诱导进行协调的运动动作的顺序，已被分析在拴系交配和精荚形成。因此，交配和精包形成的机制现在被更充分地理解。
We have investigated the morphology and physiology of the genitalia of the male cricket to establish a basis for neuroethological study of its reproductive behaviour. First, the structure of the phallic complex, including the dorsal pouch, guiding rod, epiphallus, ventral lobes and median pouch, are described, as are the muscles, cuticle, membranes and biomechanics of copulation. The innervation and sensory receptors have also been examined. Second, the functional role of the muscle in each genital organ has been determined by direct observation of muscle contraction during spontaneous or evoked movements and by analysis of the changes in movements after the ablation of the muscle. Third, for the flexible membranous organs, the ventral lobes and median pouch, the passages for haemolymph and their dynamic properties have been examined using petroleum jelly. Fourth, the sequence of coordinated motor actions performed by the internal and external genital organs, which were induced in both restrained and dissected males using newly developed techniques, has been analyzed during tethered copulation and spermatophore formation. As a result, the mechanisms of copulation and spermatophore formation are now more fully understood.
