Drumming of Tonsina River, Alaska, Pteronarcella badia populations appears to represent a dialect when compared with Dolores and Gunnison River, Colo., populations. Both males and females have fewer drumbeats and shorter beat intervals, despite recording at a 3°C cooler temperature. Mode signal beats of the five species are relatively few, ranging from 4 to 7, but beat intervals are of two types: fast signals (
