Calls of the Peloridiidae species Peloridium hammoniorum, video recording
Lebenswissenschaftliche Fakultät
Zwei Individuen der Peloridiidae-Art Peloridium hammoniorum, ein Männchen und ein weiteres Tier, dessen Geschlecht unklar ist. Das Männchen "reitet" auf dem anderen Tier und produziert akustische (Vibrations-) Signale; das Video zeigt deutlich die Bewegungen des Abdomens, bei denen die Signale allem Anschein nach entstehen. Two specimens of the Peloridiidae species Peloridium hammoniorum, a male and another one whose sex is not clear. The male is mounted on the other specimen and is producing acoustic (vibraitonal) signals; the video shows clearly the movements of the abdomen that obviously generate the signals.
