“…For instance, species-specific vibrations transmitted to grapevine plants disrupt the mating behavior of the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus Ball (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) (Mazzoni et al 2009(Mazzoni et al , 2019. Aggregation and mating signals have been exploited to develop trapping strategies for invasive pest species such as the brown marmorated stinkbug Halyomorpha halys Stål (Hemiptera: Pentatomide) and the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), respectively (Mankin 2019;Polajnar et al 2019). However, P. spumarius is a highly polyphagous and abundant species, in which mating occurs throughout the season on different host plants, while oviposition happens during the fall on herbaceous plants after the breakage of the ovarian parapause (Morente et al 2018;Witsack 1973).…”

Interference with the behaviors associated to host plant recognition, and inter-and intra-specific communication of insect vectors of plant pathogens, could represent a sustainable strategy for reducing or disrupting pathogen transmission Here, we show that the transmission over a suitable host plant (sunflower) of a vibrational stimulus significantly affects the probing and feeding behavior of the spittlebug Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae), the main European vector of the fastidious bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. Specifically, ca. 30% of the individuals did not even attempt to probe the sunflower plants to which the stimulus was transmitted, while the remaining showed a sex-independent reduction in ingestion of the xylem sap, i.e., P. spumarius' main food source, of ca. 67% compared to the control. Even so, the stimulus did not affect the feeding behavior when transmitted to olive plants. The possible reflection of a signal-based vector behavior disturbance on the epidemiology of X. fastidiosa, together with future research needs are discussed.

“…Semiochemicals can be used to manipulate not only natural enemies but also stink bug behaviour by using either trap crops (Todd & Schumann, 1988; Tillman, 2006; Nielsen et al, 2016) or push‐pull strategies (Pickett et al, 2014). Moreover, future tactics might exploit vibratory cues to disrupt stink bug sexual communication (Laumann et al, 2017; Čokl et al, 2019; Polajnar et al, 2019) or direct plant resistance (Rondoni et al, 2018). Ultimately, as most research has been conducted only under laboratory conditions, there is an urgent need for field validation of these data before effective implementation can become a reality.…”

“…The reproductive behaviour in many stink bug species is mediated by multimodal communication, based on longrange attraction on a common substrate via chemical signals and the involvement of combinations of vibratory, chemical, and visual cues during calling and courtship behaviours ( Cokl et al, 2019). Vibratory signals have been proposed as tools for mass trapping, using a bi-modal trap based on the aggregation pheromone and vibratory signal (Polajnar et al, 2019), and for mating disruption (Laumann et al, 2017). Considering that females of Te.…”

“…Additional sustainable control methods that could be considered in combination with parasitoids within organic farming systems include implementation of vibratory cues to disrupt stink bug sexual communication (Laumann et al, 2017; Čokl et al, 2019; Polajnar et al, 2019), direct plant resistance (Rondoni et al, 2018; Serteyn et al, 2020), exploitation of stink bug entomopathogens (Hajek et al, 2018), exclusion netting for fruit orchards (Candian et al, 2018), attract‐and‐kill methods (Morrison et al, 2019), and a novel mode of application of the sterile insect technique that combines the release of sterilized stink bugs with sterile parasitoids for pest eradication (Horrocks et al, 2020). Several of these possible methods are discussed below.…”

“…Another example of the use of vibrations for pest control is the transmission of a female Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri playback to small citrus trees to disrupt mating and attract males toward the vibrating traps [7,8]. Other applications, currently objects of research involve the glassy-winged sharpshooter Homalodisca vitripennis [9,10], and the brown marmorated stinkbug Halyomorpha halys [11,12].…”

Behaviours of insects can be manipulated by transmitting vibrational signals to host plants in order to develop pest management techniques. Bactericera cockerelli is an important pest and uses vibrations for mate-finding. In order to design a future control strategy for B. cockerelli, three different bioassays were performed to assess whether vibrational signals could affect relevant behaviours. Single males or pairs were treated with a female playback in test 1 and 2, respectively. In test 3, mixed sex groups received either different disturbance playbacks. The use of a female playback significantly reduced the mating success of males, since they were attracted towards the source of the stimulus. Moreover, test 2 revealed that B. cockerelli females are competitive, since they used their signals to cover the playback and to duet with males, while in test 3, the disturbance playback, consisting of broadband noises significantly reduced male signalling activity. However, none of the treatments of test 3 negatively affected the mating success of males, which tended to mount the other conspecifics present on the same leaf. The role of vibrations in sexual communication and their potential application as control technique for B. cockerelli are discussed as well.
