Multi-modal communication signals in select sexual communication systems of insects and spiders

我建议研究5种昆虫和蜘蛛的性通讯信号和系统，这些昆虫和蜘蛛似乎掌握着节肢动物通讯生态学中突出问题的线索。这些包括信号类型和信号环境之间的关系(目标1：蜘蛛的网络结构是否影响振动信号的特征？)，攻击性交配系统中配偶操纵的方法(目标2：什么是让未来配偶进入恍惚状态的方法？)，以及微生物作为生物通讯信号在无翅类、原始或古代昆虫通讯工具中的参与(目标3：甲龙是否使用微生物通讯信号？)链翅目昆虫通讯信号的研究或再调查(目标4：链翅目昆虫Xenos eckii通讯信号是什么？)或者毒蛾(目标5：吉普赛飞蛾、毒蛾是否参与生物声学交流？)之所以在这里提出，是因为它们的通信系统是完全未知的(链霉目)，或者可能比之前得出的结论(狼毒蛾)更复杂。

I propose to study sexual communication signals and systems in 5 species of insects and spiders that appear to hold clues to outstanding questions in arthropod communication ecology. These include the relationship between signal type and signaling environment (Objective 1: Does web architecture affect characteristics of vibratory signals in spiders?), the means of mate manipulation in aggressive mating systems (Objective 2: What are the means of putting a prospective mate into trance?), and involvement of microbes as biotic communication signals in apterous, primitive or ancient insect communicators such as thysanurans (Objective 3: Do thysanurans deploy microbial communication signals?). The study or re-investigation of communication signals in Strepsiptera (Objective 4: What are the communication signals of the strepsipteran Xenos peckii?) or lymantriid moths (Objective 5: Does gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, engage in bioacoustic communication?) is proposed here because their communication systems are completely unknown (Strepsiptera) or likely more complex than previously concluded (lymantriid moths).
