“…It is essential for successful communication that signals should travel over some distance without losing their specific characteristics. For effective communication with air-borne acoustic signals insects have to be relatively large in respect to the wavelength of the emitted sound (Markl 1983, Bennet-Clark 1998. Smaller insects should produce higher frequency signals; however high frequency sound propagates through environment with greater attenuation and degradation of signal structure (Markl 1983, Bennet-Clark 1998.…”

A Comunicação Entre Insetos Através de VibraçõesRESUMO -A comunicação através de vibrações originárias do substrato tem sido reconhecida há muito tempo, mas tem recebido muito menos atenção que a comunicação através do som propagado pelo ar. Recentemente, entretanto, tem se tornado cada vez mais claro o papel crucial que sinais vibratórios desempenham na comunicação em muitos grupos de insetos, o que motivou essa revisão suscinta. Sinais vibracionais estão relacionados ao comportamento sexual, de alarme e de defesa, e são em geral usados para mediar ações coordenadas em grupo e interações sociais complexas. Para insetos pequenos esses sinais representam um custo energético mínimo, com alcance máximo, e que não são percebidos facilmente por predadores e por parasitóides em potencial. Sinais originários dos substrato são produzidos por diversos métodos e detectados por receptores presentes nas seis pernas. O comportamento de corte do percevejo verde, Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) é analisado como um modelo representativo na ilustração de alguns mecanismos importantes na comunicação vibracional em insetos. Sinais vibratórios são específicos das espécies e de sexos, os quais são produzidos durante a corte e que são adequados para serem transmitidos pelas plantas, contendo informações relevantes sobre a espécie e o sexo do organismo emissor, bem como informações de onde localizar o parceiro. O papel de sinais originados do substrato, os quais são únicos para cada espécie, faz com que os estudos em sinais vibracionais sejam uma importante ferramenta para resolver problemas taxonômicos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Comunicação vibracional, vibração do substrato, comportamento, Nezara viridulaABSTRACT -Communication through substrate-borne vibrations has for long been recognized but in comparison with air-borne sound it has received very little attention. However, in recent years it has become increasingly clear that vibrational signals play a crucial role in communication in many insect groups and we provide a short overview. Vibrational signals are related to sexual behavior, alarm and defensive behavior and are often used to mediate coordinated group actions and complex social interactions. For small insects they are probably the least costly and most far-reaching signals for intraspecific communication and also not easily perceived by a potential predator or parasitoid. Substrateborne signals are produced by diversed methods and detected by sensitive receptors in all six legs. The courtship behavior of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is taken as a representative model in illustrating some principal mechanisms of vibrational communication in insects. Species and sex specific vibrational signals produced during the courtship are well suited for propagation through plants and to transmit the relevant information about the species and sex of the sender as well as provide the directional cue for locating the mate. The role of substrate-borne signals as a part of the specifi...

Flies of the taxon Emblemasomatini (Sarcophagidae: Diptera) independently evolved an ear with the same anatomy and location as the Ormiini (Tachinidae: Diptera). Both ears represent a ¢rst case of convergent evolution of homologous insect ears, which raises the question for a preadaptation. Physiological and anatomical data indicate a preadaptive-sound-insensitive, but vibration-sensitive scolopidial chordotonal organ in non-hearing £ies. As selective pressure for the evolutionary transformation from a vibration receiver into a sound receiver, fast and precise cues for the localization and detection of the sound producing hosts can be presumed.
