“…Field surveys have revealed the diversity of leafhoppers associated with berries and grapevines in Canada and the United States, where they identify potential vectors and phytoplasma groups associated (e.g., Olivier et al 2014, Arocha-Rosete et al 2019, Lenzi et al 2019. Three studies contributed to the knowledge of leafhopper abundance and diversity in berries and grapevines: (i) Chandler and Hamilton (2017) Overall, these surveys indicated that the subfamily Deltocephalinae contains the most species, followed by Typhlocybinae, both mainly associated with blueberries transmitting blueberry stunt phytoplasma and grapevines vectoring a wide array of aster yellows phytoplasma strains (Table 1, Fig. 1A).…”

Climate change has facilitated the introduction, establishment, and movement of invasive species in northern regions, enabling the colonization of previously unsuitable areas. While the responses of insects to these changes have been increasingly studied, our understanding of how such alterations impact trophic interactions still requires further research to make reliable predictions about the spread of diseases in a warming world. Phytoplasmas, a group of obligate parasitic unculturable Mollicutes, primarily rely on leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) for transmission, spread, and survival. Phytoplasmas are associated with over 600 diseases affecting more than 1,000 plant species, including berries, grapevines, and other small fruits. In North America, diseases such as grapevine yellows, blueberry stunt, and strawberry green petal diseases have been linked to phytoplasma strains transmitted by known leafhopper species. However, the number of phytoplasma diseases has significantly increased in North America over the past decade, suggesting the presence of unidentified vectors or an abundance of leafhopper vectors. This short review provides an overview of the current knowledge on leafhoppers as vectors of phytoplasmas to berries, focusing on the last decade’s research in Canada. This paper also explores the potential implications of climate change on this pathosystem, including the anticipated range expansion of leafhopper species, changes in phytoplasma acquisition and transmission, and the risk of new leafhopper-transmitted plant-pathogen introductions through the arrival of new leafhopper species.

“…Several nonindigenous insects were first detected in the United States and/or Canada via submissions to BugGuide (Hamilton, 2011;Carlson et al, 2012), including seven hopper species (Table 1; Carlson et al, 2012;Hamilton, 2011;Zahniser et al, 2010). Likewise, passive surveillance by citizen scientists can help experts document and monitor the spread of these introduced and, in some cases, invasive species (Table 1; Carlson et al, 2012;Chandler and Hamilton, 2017;Ciafré and Barringer, 2017;Leavengood et al, 2017;Tasi and Lucky, 2020). On the other hand, misidentified species that would represent first records for North America can make their way into the literature (see Protalebrella tertia in Carlson et al, 2012).…”

Due to the increasing popularity of websites specializing in nature documentation, there has been a surge in the number of people enthusiastic about observing and documenting nature over the past 2 decades. These citizen scientists are recording biodiversity on unprecedented temporal and spatial scales, rendering data of tremendous value to the scientific community. In this study, we investigate the role of citizen science in increasing knowledge of global biodiversity through the examination of notable contributions to the understanding of the insect suborder Auchenorrhyncha, also known as true hoppers, in North America. We have compiled a comprehensive summary of citizen science contributions—published and unpublished—to the understanding of hopper diversity, finding over fifty previously unpublished country and state records as well as dozens of undescribed and potentially undescribed species. We compare citizen science contributions to those published in the literature as well as specimen records in collections in the United States and Canada, illuminating the fact that the copious data afforded by citizen science contributions are underutilized. We also introduce the website Hoppers of North Carolina, a revolutionary new benchmark for tracking hopper diversity, disseminating knowledge from the literature, and incorporating citizen science. Finally, we provide a series of recommendations for both the entomological community and citizen science platforms on how best to approach, utilize, and increase the quality of sightings from the general public.

“…Until now, Empoasca included 8–14 subgenera, mostly accommodating Old World species, with various authors disagreeing over the validity and status of some subgenera. Although Empoasca ( Hebata ) DeLong, 1931 was described to accommodate some North American species, DeLong did not refer to this subgenus in his numerous subsequent papers on Empoasca and most other authors have also largely abandoned its use (but see Hamilton & Whitcomb, 2010; Chandler & Hamilton, 2017). Its phylogenetic status also remains untested to date.…”

Phylogeny of the tribe Empoascini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) based on morphological characteristics, with reclassification of the Empoasca generic group

A morphology‐based phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Empoascini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) is presented for 58 of 83 formerly recognized genera based on 99 morphological characters of adults. The results support excluding the New World Beamerana generic group from Empoascini. The remaining genera of Empoascini were recovered as a monophyletic sister group of Dikraneurini. Previously recognized tribes Jorumini and Helionini are derived from within Empoascini and are considered synonyms of the latter tribe. Three previously recognized informal generic groups, the Empoasca group, Alebroides group and Usharia group were paraphyletic but the Ficiana group was recovered as monophyletic based on five synapomorphies. Genera previously placed in the Alebroides group represent at least six independent lineages, indicating that the hind wing character separating this group from the Empoasca group (CuA and MP veins free) is highly homoplasious. Empoasca (sensu lato) is also paraphyletic. Thus, twelve previously recognized subgenera of Empoasca are elevated to genus status and five species groups of Empoasca from the New World are recognized as separate new genera. Sikkimasca Dworakowska, 1993 is treated as synonym of Marolda Dworakowska, 1977 based on the phylogeny. Biogeographic analysis suggests that Empoascini most likely first evolved in the Oriental region and spread to other biogeographic realms more recently by multiple independent invasions.
