Respuesta :
If the grasshoppers within a specific ecosystem are unable to detect vibrations, they will not be able to communicate among themselves and defend against predators. This may lead to the loss of grasshoppers from the ecosystem.
What is vibrational communication?
- Sound is carried in the form of vibrations.
- Insects have sensory organs which help them to detect these vibrations.
- They interpret these sounds to communicate with each other and navigate through the environment.
- Vibrational signaling is the most common form of communication in insects which detects any mechanical disturbances in the surrounding environment.
- Some insects are even able to sense the sound of predators, thus are able to avoid them.
- Like many insects, grasshoppers have a pair of tympanal organs. These organs vibrate when they catch sound waves in the air.
- The larvae of grasshoppers use small stiff hairs called setae to sense sound vibrations.
- The caterpillars react to vibrations by exhibiting defensive posture.
