The female calling song (FCS) of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula is composed of vibrational pulse trains that include either short pulses and a long pulse (FCS-1) or just short pulses (FCS-2). Their function in communication was studied by investigating male vibratory responses to natural and artificial signals on artificial and natural substrates. On a loudspeaker membrane, FCS-1 triggered in males from a Slovene and a French population significantly more courtship songs (MCrS…

Variability of vibratory signals and mate choice selectivity in the southern green stink bug
The effect of noise on sexual behaviour of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula
TLDR
It is shown that female calling frequency shift is the main method of reducing the effect of signal masking in N. viridula vibrational communication.
Species Recognition During Substrate-Borne Communication in Nezara viridula (L.) (Pentatomidae: Heteroptera)
TLDR
Males were able to distinguish songs of different temporal and frequency parameters and responded best to values characteristic of the song of conspecific females, which are tuned to the resonant properties of the herbaceous plants used for intraspecific signal transmission during communication.
The effect of vibratory disturbance on sexual behaviour of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae)
TLDR
Frequency shift by calling females is the main strategy for reducing interference by competitive signalers in N. viridula vibrational communication.
Vibrational Communication in Two Sympatric Species of Mantophasmatodea (Heelwalkers)
TLDR
The drumming behavior in the control situation (no playback) suggests that males sometimes call in the absence of other individuals, and the communication via percussion of the abdomen on the substrate for species recognition and mate location of males and females of two sympatric species was investigated.
Vibrational communication and mating behaviour of Dichelops melacanthus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) recorded from loudspeaker membranes and plants
TLDR
The presence of species and sex‐specific songs during mating confirms the important role of vibrational communication in mate location and recognition in various stink bugs species.
Male Bugs Modulate Pheromone Emission in Response to Vibratory Signals from Conspecifics
TLDR
Male Nezara viridula emit a volatile sex pheromone that acts as a long-range attractant to females that was stable in males stimulated with male rivalry songs, and it decreased in males stimulating with a 100-Hz artificial signal.
Vibratory signals of four Neotropical stink bug species
Abstract.  The stink bugs Acrosternum impicticorne, Euschistus heros, Piezodorus guildinii and Thyanta perditor (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) feed and mate on the same host plants and constitute major…

Tuning of host plants with vibratory songs of Nezara viridula L (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
TLDR
Songs of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula L, recorded on a non-resonant loudspeaker membrane, reflect frequency characteristics of body vibrations that depend on the repetition rate of potentials recorded from synchronously contracting muscles that vibrate the abdomen during singing.

Vibrational directionality in the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.), is mediated by female song
TLDR
Vibrational directionality was elicited by artificial pure tones whose spectral and temporal parameters were similar to those of natural female song and by artificial sound, which caused males to walk, respond with the calling and courtship songs and to approach the source of the song with characteristic search behaviour at junctions between branches on the plants.
Temporal and spectral properties of the songs of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (L.) from Slovenia
TLDR
Substrate born songs of the southern green stinkbug Nezara viridula (L.) from Slovenia were recorded and analysed and the male rival song is characterised by prolonged pulses with typical frequency modulation.

Mate location in the southern green stink bug,Nezara Viridula (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), mediated through substrate-borne signals on ivy
TLDR
On plants where visual and airborne acoustic communication can be prevented by leaves, substrateborne vibrational signals perceived by receptors in legs would enhance the likelihood of mate location in N. viridula.
Plants as transmission channels for insect vibrational songs
TLDR
The vibrational songs of several species of cydnid bugs and ‘small cicadas’ (leafhoppers and planthoppers) living on various types of plants are recorded by means of laser vibrometry and it is concluded that the signals recorded here are carried by Means of bending waves.

Wild hosts of Pentatomids: ecological significance and role in their pest status on crops.
TLDR
The knowledge of host plant sequences, including cultivated and uncultivated hosts, and the use of wild hosts as trap plants will improve management of pest species and future research should focus on determining which plants are preferably used by stink bugs.
World review of the parasitoids of the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae).
TLDR
Fifty-seven species among two families of Diptera and five families of Hymenoptera are recorded; 41 are egg parasitoids, most of which are not closely associated with N. viridula, although some are well adapted and the status of others is unclear.
