Pulse numbers, intervals, and progressions were subjected to statistical and graphic analyses. Teleogryllus songs are controlled by a complex, polygenic, multichromosomal system, even at the level of \u2018unitary\u2019, acoustical parameters. Genes regulating certain pattern characteristics are on the X-chromosome\u2019. The superficially similar chirping songs of two Gryllus species appear due to different neuronal mechanisms. One song appears to reflect a single rhythm generator with some relaxation oscillator properties, while the rhythms of the other song seem to be caused by the mixed effect of two resonant type oscillators.","type_name":"Journal Article","journal_abbreviation":"Animal Behaviour","pmid":null,"info_url":"https:\/\/bio.acousti.ca\/node\/17239"}]}
