COMPARISON OF THE MATING BEHAVIOUR OF A BUSH CRICKET IN THE LABORATORY AND THE FIELD: CALLING ACTIVITY AND MATING FREQUENCY OF A LONG-WINGED SPECIES, PHANEROPTERA FALCATA (ENSIFERA: TETTIGONIIDAE)

Bush crickets are a model group for testing hypotheses in sexual selection, but much of the information is based on laboratory observations on wingless or short-winged species, which may restrict their generality.Here we describe aspects of the mating behaviour of the long-winged European bush cricket Phaneroptera falcata (Poda, 1761).Both in the l

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) take moving vehicles and transport facilities as nodes to form mobile networks through wireless communication technology.Its application increases traffic safety and promotes the development of intelligent transport.However, VANETs have security concerns in data transmission.Fortunately, aggregate signature scheme
