Research Abstract

Platypleura albibannata is an endangered species that is distributed only in the palm forest and its vicinity in the Yonehara on the north coast of Ishigaki Island. For the monitoring of the emergence of this endangered species, we have established the protocol for the survey of emergence based on calling songs emitted by males. Cicadas often sing at the same time, and it is difficult to determine the location and the number of individuals emitting the sound especially when closely related species are singing nearby. Since no P. albibannata hatched during the study period, the effectiveness of sound source separation was confirmed for other species of cicadas. A prototype of a sound analysis application was also developed.
