The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, a vector of citrus huanglongbing, is now present in all citrus-producing states in the USA and Mexico. In addition to citrus, the insect can reproduce on several other plant species in the Rutaceae family; orange jasmine (Murraya spp.) and curry leaf (Bergera koenigii) are among its preferred hosts. There are several indigenous Rutaceae species in North America, and some are popular ornamentals. A study was therefore initiated to determine the suitability of some of these plants for feeding and development of the psyllid in choice and no-choice experiments. D. citri was found to reproduce successfully on Choisya ternata, C. arizonica and Helietta parvifolia in no-choice tests, but preferentially selected orange jasmine and curry leaf for feeding and reproduction, in choice tests. On Amyris madrensis, A. texana and Zanthoxylum fagara, adult psyllids laid eggs which hatched, but no successful nymphal development was recorded beyond the first instars. No oviposition was recorded on Esenbeckia berlandieri, Ptelea trifoliata and Casimiroa tetrameria, although adult psyllids were able to survive on these species for several days. Results showed that C. ternata, C. arizonica and H. parvifolia can serve host plants of D. citri and this constitutes the first report of these plants serving as host for D. citri. The findings of the present study suggest that native rutaceous host plants can serve as host plants and thus affect D. citri population dynamics and the epidemiology of Huanglongbing, the deadly citrus greening disease whose pathogen is vectored by D. citri. Thus, area-wide management of this pest also should target these riparian habitats where these host plants are present with D. citri biological control agents for sustainable management of this pest.

“…However, the role of learning in the reproductive repertoire of female D. citri is unknown. Given the importance of vision for host preference in D. citri (Patt et al., ; Sétamou et al., , ; Paris et al., ) it is reasonable to suspect that abdominal coloration may serve a purpose in mate selection. We hypothesized that experienced females may assess abdominal color, a common form of phenotypic variation in this species (Husain & Nath, ; Wenninger & Hall, ; Wenninger et al., ), as a cue to predict the quality of future mates.…”

In some arthropods, females learn in the context of reproduction to refine their mate choices and avoid males displaying traits associated with impotency. Previous studies have shown that males of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citriKuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), associate female odor with copulatory rewards. However, it is unclear whether females similarly learn about male traits. We compared mate choice in females previously mated to either blue or orange males and found that females may associate male color with reproductive success, and avoided blue males after previous experience. Orange males mated more frequently than blue males and appeared to be more sexually aggressive in their mating attempts. In addition, females mated to orange males laid approximately twice as many eggs as those mated to blue males. We dissected male psyllids and measured the size of their reproductive organs to determine whether abdominal color was associated with reproductive development. Our morphometric analysis indicated that blue males may not be physiologically immature compared with orange males. Rather, blue males displayed larger testes and seminal vesicles than orange males, suggesting that differences in reproductive output may be behavioral in nature. Based on our data, we suggest that females learn about the appearance and mating behaviors of blue and orange males from early mating experiences, and subsequently avoid blue males in future matings. Although the roles of blue males within a population are unclear, it is possible that blue morphs may specialize in other functions such as dispersal.

“…Likewise, another recent study reported greater catches of the Asian citrus psyllid (Hemiptera: Liviidae) on yellow and red sticky traps in citrus orchards (Sétamou et al, 2014). However, bioassays performed under laboratory-controlled conditions did not confirm the attraction to 'red' in this species, which exhibited only limited attraction to red LED lights (Paris et al, 2015).…”

Elevated anthocyanins protect young Eucalyptus leaves from high irradiance but also indicate foliar nutritional quality to visually attuned psyllids Abstract. 1. Foliar colour changes with age and, as a consequence, reflects the internal physiology of leaves. Anthocyanins are 'red' pigments known for their photoprotective role in young leaves and have been suggested to influence the host-finding behaviour of insect herbivores. The existence of colour vision in some species of Eucalyptus-feeding psyllid provides evidence for the possibility of them being able to locate and select leaves based on their age.2. The preferences of three psyllid species, namely Anoeconeossa bundoorensis, Glycaspis brimblecombei, and Ctenarytaina bipartita, for leaf colours were tested using live leaves of different age, presented without olfactory cues. Changes in foliar pigment concentrations and relationships with amino acid composition in these psyllid's hosts, namely Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus kitsoniana, were studied to consider the adaptive significance of selecting leaves based on their age.3. The preference for and attraction to young, anthocyanic leaves of two red-sensitive psyllid species (A. bundoorensis and G. brimblecombei) were demonstrated, whilst the green-yellow-sensitive species (C. bipartita) was shown to discriminate between young 'yellow' and older 'green' leaves. Age-related variation in leaf colour was positively correlated with greater availability of essential amino acids.4. This study presents a unique example of herbivore attraction to 'red' leaves and strong evidence for reliance on colour vision in insect orientation at the within-host level.
