Crickets Vs Chesapeakonomics

Specific sound frequencies are made when most animals communicate. with each other and how they are made differs ,; however, they all serve the main purpose of delivering a message from one animal to the other. Can these frequencies be delivered from an outside source to possibly control interactive occurrences? The behavioral traits between crickets rely heavily on their ratios of sex, population density, and the communications amongst each other. The male cricket often leads the communication with aggressive calls to other males (8 kHz and chirps about 2 seconds in length at 8 kHz) and mating calls to females (3 kHz and chirps about 4 seconds in length). The sounds produced during these interactions derive from the stridulating of the cricket’s wings. This in turn

This can be quantified as the number of aggressive or mating occurrences within a 15-minute period. In nature, these crickets would have an instinct to respond to a predatory figure, however isolating the crickets during this experiment focuses solely on their interactions with each other as a response to external stimuli. (Huber 1989) In this case, the stimuli replicated was the emitted sound frequencies of 4kHz and 8kHz as these are the basic aggressive and mating chirps for most crickets. (Pollack 2014) As traits become normalized for specific living and social conditions, can these conditions be replicated and whether or not they will have an effect on the frequency-emitted groups of crickets becomes the focus. Four groups of crickets were used, mixed male and female, and how the external source of replicated communication affected the number of aggressive or mating interactions was
