from Sandakan: oscillogram of 3 echemes (A), detailed oscillogram of 1 echeme (B), spectrogram of 1 echeme (C), power spectrum (D).
Calling song (
Fig. 12
): At 28.4°C and RH 74%, the calling song of
C. borneoe
consists of doublets (or rarely triplets) of long syllables including strong amplitude modulation forming pulse-like structures. Echemes (doublet) last 660 ± 75 ms with a period of 3.5 ± 1.2 s. Within doublets, syllables last 196 ± 43 ms, with a period of 372 ± 47 ms. Dominant frequency value is 17.6 ± 0.4 kHz with no clear harmonic structure.
Habitat and life history traits.
C. borneoe
inhabits the dipterocarp forest in Sandakan and is typically found on or under the foliage of tree sapling or shrub at night.
Remark.
The calling song of
C. borneoe
differs from that of
Cardiodactylus admirabilis
Tan & Robillard, 2014
from
Singapore
by consisting of doublets with longer echeme duration (instead of triplets with shorter echeme duration of 205.6 ms) and higher dominant frequency (instead of 14.3 kHz). This is despite of the similarities in the morphology and genitalia of these two species. Another morphologically similar species is
Cardiodactylus thailandia
Robillard, 2011
from
Thailand
but its song is unknown.
