“…Communication with vibrational signals is common in species of the family Pentatomidae (Čokl & Virant‐Doberlet, ; Virant‐Doberlet & Čokl, ). As a general pattern, male pheromones trigger females to emit low‐frequency vibrational signals (Zgonik & Čokl, ). In turn, this stimulates males to increase pheromone production (Miklas et al ., ), respond with their own vibrational signals (Čokl et al ., ; Čokl & Virant‐Doberlet, ) and then start to search for the stationary female (Ota & Čokl, ; Čokl et al ., ).…”

Vibrational communication of the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys)

Communication with substrate-borne vibrational signals is common in the family Pentatomidae, although this aspect of biology of the invasive pest Halyomorpha halys Stål remains unexplored so far. In the present study, the behaviour of single animals and pairs is observed on a bean plant and a loudspeaker membrane at the same time as recording substrate vibrations with a laser vibrometer, with the aim of adding to the existing description of mating behaviour. The male H. halys emit long, narrow-band vibrational signals spontaneously to which the nearby females reply with their own vibrational signals, triggering male searching. During this phase, the insects emit two (in females) or three song types (in males) in various combinations, until they come into physical contact, after which the final male song type, characterized by tremulation, is the only kind of vibratory emission. Females never start singing spontaneously and the mating sequence does not proceed if either partner is silent. Male signals do not attract males or females and so vibrations are unlikely to play a role in maintaining the aggregations that are characteristic of this species, whereas female signals show promise for developing behavioural manipulation methods against this invasive pest

Maruca vitrata is considered as one of the major impediments in boosting up the production of tropical legumes. Since chemical pesticides have an adverse effect on human health and environment, there is an urgent need for developing a non‐chemical based method to replace chemical insecticides for controlling of pests. We investigated the oviposition, development and adult performances of M. vitrata at five radiofrequency levels of 0 (control without frequency), 5, 10, 20, and 30 kHz on artificial diet. In addition, the effects were also studied in three successive generations (Parent, F1‐ and F2‐ generations) of M. vitrata. The results showed that radiofrequency application had significant effects on the life‐variables of M. vitrata. Radiofrequency exposures on M. vitrata not only impacted on oviposition, developmental time, adult longevity, and adult weight but negative effects were also transmitted to the successive generations. Oviposition was found to reduce as generation passed after exposed to radiofrequencies. Total developmental times from egg to adult emergence were longer with shorter longevity in case of radiofrequency treatment than untreated. Decreasing the radiofrequency level further increased time for development of adults as generation passed. The shortest adult longevity occurred at 5 kHz treatment. The outcomes of this study are discussed in terms of targeting susceptibilities to radiofrequency as an alternative to chemical treatments.

“…Investigations of the early phase of mating behavior on a plant in N. viridula [20] confirmed that the male pheromone triggers female calling. Males, on the other hand, started vibrational communication when presented with a live female rotating its antennae and, furthermore, staying alone on a plant, males spontaneously emitted the calling song more often than females.…”

“…B. hilaris males, for example, tried to copulate with significantly fewer female bodies with extracted cuticular hydrocarbons [73]. Footprints absorbed in the plant's epicuticle may act as long-lasting signals [74], and their role in reproductive behavior has been suggested by Zgonik and Čokl [20], who hypothesized that spontaneous emission of the female calling song, is caused by sensing footprints left on a plant previously occupied by males.…”

Stink Bug Communication with Multimodal Signals Transmitted through Air and Substrate

This review represents complex mechanisms and processes of multimodal communication in stink bugs. During reproductive behavior the airborne and substrate-borne signals enable mate recognition, mediate directionality of movement, eliminate rivals and motivate partners for copulation. Species specific characteristics prevent hybridization at various levels of mating behavior. Male sex and/or aggregation pheromones as uni-or multicomponent signals attract mates to land on the same plant and there, trigger females to call males by vibratory signals, transmitted through the plant. Communication during courtship runs at short distance with visual, airborne, substrate-borne and contact chemical and mechanical signals. Abdomen vibrations produce the main repertoire of female and male calling, courtship and rival vibratory signals. To increase their informational value, stink bugs tune signal frequency, amplitude and temporal characteristics with mechanical properties of plants. The airborne component of species non-specific and high amplitude signals, produced by body tremulation and wing buzzing enables communication contact between mates standing on mechanically isolated plants. Female vibratory signals increase the amount of male emitted pheromone and the latter keeps female calling. Interaction, synergy and characteristics of visual, contact chemical and vibratory signals, exchanged during courtship remain under-investigated. Female and male competition for access to copulation in imbalanced sex conditions is characterized by duetting with rival song vibratory signals. Different receptors in and on different parts of the body are able to detect with high sensitivity multimodal airborne and substrate-borne communication signals. The relevance of the multimodal communication for the reproductive success of stink bugs is discussed. -IntroductionMillions of insect species inhabit air, water and land. Population success depends crucially on efficient communication, which enables solitary species to meet in the field and holds insect societies together. To preserve above-threshold signal-to-noise ratio at the necessary distance, solitary insects developed, through evolution, efficient mechanisms to communicate by unimodal, multimodal and multicomponent signals [1] transmitted through different media. Investigation of insect communication demands a holistic approach to understand the role, synergy and interaction of specific processes underlying different phases of behavior. The study on the wandering spider Cuppienius salei (Keyserlink, 1877) represents a nice example of such an approach, showing the complex system of communication through different channels in various environmental conditions [2]. Comparable studies are rare in insects and, despite numerous solutions and a variety of mechanisms, there are very few common and general conclusions.plant-dwelling phytophagous insects with several pest species that inspired numerous studies of their biology, ecology, feeding habits and conditions of their plant environment [3...
