考虑到蚊子在节肢动物中具有无与伦比的声音敏感性和远距离听觉所需的声源功率，我们研究了雌性蚊子在保持交配群的声音中探测到物种特异性线索的距离。蚊子的听觉器官是“粒子速度”感受器，因此无法在远距离上听到声音，这是一个普遍的误解，这掩盖了粒子速度是声音固有组成部分的事实，无论距离声源有多远。我们将自由飞行的科鲁兹按蚊雌性暴露于预先录制的雄性按蚊的声音中。coluzzi和An。冈比亚s.s.在自然声级范围内群集。测试的声音水平与给定数量的雄性蜜蜂和蜂群之间的等效距离有关，这使我们能够推断出雌性蜜蜂可能听到大型雄性蜜蜂群的距离。我们发现雌性对高达48 dB声压级（SPL）的群体声音没有反应，并且更大的SPL与群体的生态无关。考虑到蚊子群是蚊子唯一的声源，它的声音足够大，可以在很远的距离听到，我们得出结论，蚊子之间的声音交流仅限于近距离的成对互动。我们还发现，自由飞行的雄鸟对声音的敏感度比拴着的雄鸟要高得多。
Given the unsurpassed sound sensitivity of mosquitoes among arthropods and the sound source power required for long-range hearing, we investigated the distance over which female mosquitoes detect species-specific cues in the sound of station-keeping mating swarms. A common misunderstanding, that mosquitoes cannot hear at long range because their hearing organs are ‘particle-velocity’ receptors, has clouded the fact that particle velocity is an intrinsic component of sound whatever the distance to the sound source. We exposed free-flying Anopheles coluzzii females to pre-recorded sounds of male An. coluzzii and An. gambiae s.s. swarms over a range of natural sound levels. Sound levels tested were related to equivalent distances between the female and the swarm for a given number of males, enabling us to infer distances over which females might hear large male swarms. We show that females do not respond to swarm sound up to 48 dB sound pressure level (SPL) and that louder SPLs are not ecologically relevant for a swarm. Considering that swarms are the only mosquito sound source that would be loud enough to be heard at long range, we conclude that inter-mosquito acoustic communication is restricted to close-range pair interactions. We also showed that the sensitivity to sound in free-flying males is much enhanced compared to that of tethered ones.
