摘要: 鸣叫是无尾两栖类声音通讯的重要环节之一。许多蛙类的鸣叫行为具有节律性,且受温度和湿度的影响。为研究红蹼树蛙(Rhacophorus rhodopus) 的鸣声特征和鸣叫节律,2016年5—6月,采用录音机和指向性话筒,在野外录制了61只雄性红蹼树蛙的鸣声,并通过悬挂录音笔和自动温湿度记录仪研究其鸣叫节律(22 d)。结果发现:红蹼树蛙的鸣声分为单音节和多音节(音节数2~20;平均6.27±2.94)2种类型。与多音节鸣声的主频(2213.32±106.95 Hz)、音节时长(14.83±1.27 ms)和音节间隔(60.66±8.56 ms)相比,单音节鸣声的主频(2289.87±120.14 Hz)、音节时长(16.93±1.68 ms)和音节间隔(610.99±178.48 ms)显著升高(P<0.05),而2种鸣声的基频(单音节鸣声:212.51±21.63 Hz;多音节鸣声:225.39±26.80 Hz)无显著差异(P>0.05)。红蹼树蛙每晚19:00至次日03:00具有鸣叫行为,22:00为高峰期。结果表明:红蹼树蛙主要通过改变鸣声的主频、音节时长、音节间隔以及音节数提高声音通讯效率。红蹼树蛙的鸣叫行为具有昼夜节律,且在一定程度上受温度和湿度的影响。

Abstract: Acoustic communication is one of the most important means of communication in anurans. The call behavior of many male frogs has a circadian rhythm that is affected by temperature and relative humidity. In this study, the calls of 61 males of Rhacophorus rhodopus were collected from May to June 2016. We investigated the call structure and circadian variations of calling patterns and their relationship with air temperature and relative humidity over 22 days. The results showed that R. rhodopus had two basic call types: monosyllabic and multisyllabic calls (note number 2-20, with an average of 6.27±2.94). There were no fundamental frequency differences between monosyllabic calls (212.51±21.63 Hz) and multisyllabic calls (225.39±26.80 Hz). The note duration, dominant frequency, and internote interval of monosyllabic calls (16.93±1.68 ms, 2289.87±120.14 Hz, 610.99±178.48 ms, respectively) were greater than those of multisyllabic calls (14.83±1.27 ms, 2213.32±106.95 Hz, 60.66±8.56 ms, respectively). Male R. rhodopus called from 19:00 to 03:00 every night, with a peak at about 22:00. The results showed that R. rhodopus communicated more efficiently by changing the dominant frequency, note number and internote interval. The calling behavior of R. rhodopus was affected by air temperature and relative humidity to a certain extent.
