Lebenswissenschaftliche Fakultät
Zwei Individuen der Peloridiidae-Art Peloridium pomponorum; das Männchen "reitet" auf dem Weibchen. Das Männchen produziert akustische (Vibrations-) Signale; das Video zeigt deutlich die Abdomenbewegungen, bei denen die Signale allem Anschein nach erzeugt werden. Two specimens of the Peloridiidae species Peloridium pomponorum; the male is mounted on the female. The male is producing acoustic (vibraitonal) signals; the video shows clearly the abdominal movements that obviously generate the signals.
