“…A second approach is through playback of the female reply signal to interfere with their localization by males. This was first tested on the psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, and it is based on a smart system that detects and identifies male calls and responds with timely and reliable synthetic replies . Recently, two alternative control strategies have been proposed for species in which the female spontaneously emits signals, such as the stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål) and the leafhopper Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar) .…”

Background The green leafhopper, Empoasca vitis, is a polyphagous pest of grapevine and tea plants. To date population density is controlled primarily by insecticides and there is a demand for more sustainable controls. To develop a vibrational mating disruption method, the natural occurrence of a ‘disruptive signal’ was investigated. Further, the efficacy of natural and artificial ‘disruptive signals’ was determined. Results With behavioral trials we described male rivalry and recorded a species‐specific disruptive signal (DP). The DP, a single pulse overlapping the competitor male call, interfered with the rival's ability to locate the female. Laboratory playback disruption trials revealed that the pair formation process was prevented by artificial disturbance noises that included the following features: E. vitis DP, Scaphoideus titanus disturbance noise, and a pure tone (250 Hz). Among these, the pure tone was most efficient at preventing mating. Conclusion Results support development of a vibrational mating disruption method as a control strategy for E. vitis. To simultaneously disrupt the mating of E. vitis and S. titanus, the possibility of applying the S. titanus disturbance noise combined with the pure tone is discussed. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

“…This appears common among most psyllid species [5] although the characteristics of their vibrational calling is likely species specific [14]. In an effort to exploit the dueting behaviors of reproductive D. citri , artificial female calling devices are being developed for use in the field as a form of mating disruption [13,15,16,17]. …”

Male Psyllids Differentially Learn in the Context of Copulation

In the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, stimulatory cuticular hydrocarbons act as sex pheromone attractants. Male psyllids locate aggregations of females using those olfactory cues, as well as vibrational communication on the plant surface. Although previous research has indicated that learning plays a role in modulating female reproductive behaviors in psyllids, it is unknown whether males similarly use learning to increase the likelihood of copulatory success. We used an olfactometer-based bio-assay to study the effects of experience on male response to female odor. First, we compared male attraction to female odor in virgin and previously mated males. Second, we tested the effect of several modes of experience with a novel odor, vanillin, to determine whether mating, feeding, or general environmental exposure elicited a learned response. We found that male attraction to female odor significantly increased after mating experience. In addition, we found that males learn about odor specifically in the context of mating, rather than feeding or general exposure. Electrophysiological measurements of antennal response to odorants confirmed that mating status did not affect the sensitivity of the peripheral nervous system to volatile stimuli implicating learning at the level of the central nervous system. These results suggest that male response to female odor is not an entirely innate behavior. Males may require mating experience with female conspecifics to develop attraction to those olfactory cues produced by the female and in association with the female’s habitat. This adaptive plasticity may allow males to detect females in an ever-changing environment and promote diversification and further specialization on different host genotypes.

“…The male then searches toward her, stopping and calling periodically at bifurcations or other transition points to verify the direction of her replies . Rohde et al (2013) and Mankin et al (2013) found that males search also in response to synthetically generated reply mimics that contain multiple harmonics of the 170 to 250-Hz wingbeat frequency (Wenninger et al 2009;Mullen et al 2016). It was hypothesized that such behavior could be co-opted to capture D. citri for both sampling and population reduc-tion efforts .…”
