| Abstract | Three basic trends in the development of acoustic communication in Tettigonioidea are distinguished. The first one is observed in predatory tettigoniids and conocephalids. It is associated with the improvement of the territorial behavior and results in the appearance of territorial, aggressive and protest sounds (only males stridulate) in the acoustic repertoire. The second trend is caused by the development of defensive mechanisms. It is observed in phytophagous katydids belonging to the family Bradyporidae dwelling in deserts and other exposed habitats. As a rule, their acoustic repertoire includes long-lasting calling songs and disturbance (protest) sounds; rather often, these sounds are produced both by males and females. The unmasking effect of signals is compensated for by specific defense adaptations. The third evolutionary tendency is most completely expressed in phytophagous Phaneropteridae and phytophilous Bradyporidae (Ephippigerinae) as a result of the predator press and the improvement of sexual behavior. It leads to appearance of a “slow” system of communication, when the unmasking effect of songs is minimized by the decrease in the acoustic activity of males. Females produce response signals, while males produce complex calling, courtship, and confirming sounds. The temporal pattern of a signal is one of the most reliable criteria for the discrimination of species and subspecies. It is difficult to use physical parameters of sounds as a criterion for the differentiation of taxa at the superspecies rank, since acoustical signalling is obviously a subject of evolution of the acoustic community rather than of the taxon. Parallelisms and convergences are observed in the evolution of acoustic communication systems, but complex analysis allows revealing the initial type of the acoustic system and defining the reasons for adaptive reorganizations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
