振动害虫控制技术最近已经开发了几个半翅目，这表明类似的策略可以应用于其他物种发出振动信号。为了评估Philaenus spumarius，在意大利的橄榄园苛养木杆菌的载体的控制方法的适用性，我们调查了它的交配行为，并表征了相关的基板传播的信号。雄性和雌性发出的振动信号用激光振动计从叶子表面记录下来。男性和女性的剧目包括三个振动信号与不同的功能。配对的形成开始与一个接受女性的呼叫信号和交配完成时，振动二重奏建立和维持，直到男性达到植物上的女性。雌性的叫声和二重唱只发生在9月进行的试验中，而在本赛季早些时候，雌性向求爱的雄性发出拒绝信号。雄性之间的性内交流涉及振动信号的发射，其作用仍然不清楚。无论是女性或男性呼叫信号的播放试验引发了不同的振动信号的测试男性的排放。进一步的回放实验是必要的，以确定振动信号用于操纵P. spumarius行为，并开发未来的控制方法。
Vibrational pest control techniques have been recently developed for several Hemiptera, suggesting that similar strategies could be applied to other species that emit vibrational signals. To evaluate the applicability of a control method for Philaenus spumarius, the vector of Xylella fastidiosa in olive orchards in Italy, we investigated its mating behavior and characterized the associated substrate-borne signals. The vibrational signals emitted by males and females were recorded with a laser vibrometer from the surface of a leaf. Male and female repertoires consisted each of three vibrational signals with distinct features. Pair formation begun with the calling signal of a receptive female and mating was accomplished when a vibrational duet was established and maintained until the male reached the female on the plant. Female calls and duets occurred only in trials conducted in September, while earlier in the season females emitted rejection signals to courting males. Intrasexual communication between males involved the emission of vibrational signals, whose role is still not clear. Playback trials with either a female or male calling signal elicited the emission of different vibrational signals by the tested males. Further experiments with playbacks are warranted to identify vibrational signals to be used for manipulating P. spumarius behavior and develop a future control method.
