Many groups of insects utilize substrate-borne vibrations for intraspecific communication. This characteristic makes them a suitable model for exploring the use of vibrations as a tool for pest control as an alternative to the use of chemicals. Detailed knowledge of species communication is a prerequisite to select the best signals to use. This study explored the use of substrate-borne vibrations for pest control of the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys Stål (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). For this purpose, we first identified the spectral and temporal characteristics that best elicit male responsiveness. Bioassays were conducted with artificial signals that mimicked the natural female calling signal. Second, we used the acquired knowledge to synthesize new signals endowed with different degrees of attractiveness in single- and two-choice bioassays using a wooden custom-made T stand.

通过振动实验设计理想的臭虫雄性吸引力振动信号

许多昆虫群体利用基质传播的振动进行种内交流。这一特性使它们成为探索使用振动作为害虫防治工具来替代使用化学品的合适模型。物种交流的详细知识是选择要使用的最佳信号的先决条件。本研究探讨了利用基质传播的振动来防治褐斑蝽 (BMSB)，Halyomorpha halysStål（异翅目：蝾螈科）。为此，我们首先确定了最能引起男性反应的光谱和时间特征。生物测定是用模仿自然女性呼叫信号的人工信号进行的。其次，我们使用获得的知识来合成新的信号，这些信号在使用定制的木制 T 支架的单选和双选生物测定中具有不同程度的吸引力。
