This work aimed to investigate the reproductive behavior, stridulatory communication and describe the stridulatory apparatus and basic mechanism of signal emission in this species. This knowledge may facilitate the development of monitoring and control tactics. Reproductive behavior was observed in experimental arenas where stridulatory emissions of males and females were recorded. Stridulatory signals were analyzed in two different behavioral contexts, stress and reproductive behavior. Scanning electronic microscopy and stereoscopic microscope images were analyzed to describe the stridulatory apparatus and mechanism of signal production. Reproductive behavior of <i>S. mangiferae</i> showed some basic behaviors, described previously in other Curculionidae, including rapid movements and encounter of pairs and mounting of females by males together with emission of stridulatory signals. In response to these stridulatory signals, females interrupted their movement which facilitated copulation. Stridulatory signals emitted in the two different behavioral contexts showed specific temporal and spectral differences and could be characterized as stress signals, male courtship signals and female rejection signals. Stress signals were emitted in higher rate than courtship or rejection signals. Stress signals were produced almost continuously while the stress factor was present. The stridulatory apparatus had a different structure of <i>pars stridens</i> and <i>plectrum</i> in males and females and an inversion of the location of these components. The basic stridulatory mechanism consisted of an antero-posterior movement of the abdomen that, when in contact with the inner surface of elytra, scraped the <i>plectrum</i> on the <i>pars stridens</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138575497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pheromone-based mating disruption is one such tactic widely used in agricultural systems, but few studies have assessed disrupting other mate communication mechanisms, such as acoustic signals. The most destructive pear pest in the Pacific Northwest USA, pear psylla ( Cacopsylla pyricola ) is believed to use acoustic signals to find mates, making it a candidate for this type of disruption. This species has two adult morphs, overwintering adults (winterforms) that emerge in the spring and subsequent generations (summerforms). Our study characterized the mating signals for both sexes and morphs of pear psylla, and assessed whether temperature and previous exposure to adult conspecifics altered signals and likelihood of signaling. While there are descriptions for acoustic signals of other psyllid species, this study provides the first evidence that C. pyricola communicates acoustically. The two sexes communicate via duetting; males signal to attract a female and the female signals back if she is receptive for mating. We showed that both morphotypes’ male signals contain a group of chirps followed by a trill, while females respond with chirps . Male signal trills differed significantly in frequency (Hz) between winterform and summerform psylla. The signal frequency among morphs also had a positive linear relationship with temperature, suggesting that dissimilarity in signals among morphs had some relationship to temperature. Males were more likely to signal when they had previous exposure to females compared to males without exposure to females. Our results provide new information on how pear psylla communicate acoustically for mating, advancing the potential to develop mating disruption strategies for integrated pest management (IPM).","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136059645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
