Taxonomy and bioacoustics of crickets (orthoptera: gryllidae) from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Pahang, Kampus Jengka / Nur Farhana A. Kadir

This study is specifically concerned with the taxonomy and bioacoustics of cricket
under family of Gryllidae in UiTM Kampus Jengka. The problem statements of
this research were the species and their bioacoustics characteristics of Gryllidae in
this UiTM had never been recorded before. The goals of this study is to identify
the species of cricket exist in this UiTM, to determine the bioacoustic
characteristic and to compare stridulatory structure of cricket. The empirical part
of this study was conducted from September until October 2016. In order to catch
the cricket, random sampling by active sampling was used. Next, the sound of
cricket was recorded and analyse. Then, taxonomic character were identified by
observing under the microscope. Lastly, description of morphology was
described. The result reveal, 43 individuals of cricket were collected from 3
subfamily, 6 genera and 16 species. The most major group of cricket are from
subfamily Gryllinae, followed by subfamily Eneopterinae and Trigonidiinae.
Members of genus Teleogryllus shown the highest individuals that are 4 species.
Members of subfamily Gryllus produce high-frequency (HF) of song. From this
study, there are 10 species that were produced sound. 3 species were produced
sound both in nature and captivity that are Nisitrus vittatus, Comidogryllus adina
and Velarificterous micado. 7 species were produced sound in captivity that are
Gryllus assimilis, Gryllus bimaculatus, Loxoblemmus doenitzi, Teleogryllus
emma, Teleogryllus sp.1, Teleogryllus sp.2 and Velarificterous asperses. This
sound produced can be related with the part of stridulatory structure of cricket
