Abstract
AbstractNearest neighbor analyses of the field crickets Gryllus integer, G. veletis, and Teleogryllus oceanicus demonstrated that calling ♂♂ were aggregated. Broadcasts of conspecific song to calling ♂♂ indicated that attraction of neighboring ♂♂ maintained inter‐male distances. Broadcasts of G. integer song through aggregated and isolated loudspeakers showed that the total number of crickets and parasitoid flies, Euphasiopteryx ochracea, attracted to aggregated loudspeakers was greater than that to an isolate. The average number of attracted crickets and flies in an aggregation was comparable to the isolated total.
