Amount of calling activity (calling effort) is a strong determinant of male
mating success in species such as orthopterans and anurans that use acoustic
communication in the context of mating behaviour. While many studies in crickets
have investigated the determinants of calling effort, patterns of variability in
male calling effort in natural choruses remain largely unexplored.
Within-individual variability in calling activity across multiple nights of
calling can influence female mate search and mate choice strategies. Moreover,
calling site fidelity across multiple nights of calling can also affect the
female mate sampling strategy. We therefore investigated the spatio-temporal
dynamics of acoustic signaling behaviour in a wild population of the field
cricket species Plebeiogryllus guttiventris. We first studied the consistency of
calling activity by quantifying variation in male calling effort across multiple
nights of calling using repeatability analysis. Callers were inconsistent in
their calling effort across nights and did not optimize nightly calling effort to
increase their total number of nights spent calling. We also estimated calling
site fidelity of males across multiple nights by quantifying movement of callers.
Callers frequently changed their calling sites across calling nights with
substantial displacement but without any significant directionality. Finally, we
investigated trade-offs between within-night calling effort and energetically
expensive calling song features such as call intensity and chirp rate. Calling
effort was not correlated with any of the calling song features, suggesting that
energetically expensive song features do not constrain male calling effort. The
two key features of signaling behaviour, calling effort and call intensity, which
determine the duration and spatial coverage of the sexual signal, are therefore
uncorrelated and function independently.
