Vibrational behavior of psyllids (Hemiptera: Psylloidea): functional morphology and mechanisms
Y.-C. Liao, Z.-Z. Wu, M.-M. Yang
This study identifies the vibrational signal-producing mechanisms in psyllids by testing hypotheses through structural removal and high-speed imaging, concluding that stridulation between specific forewing and thorax structures is the primary mechanism.
