Bioacoustic Approaches Shaping Entomology's Future: Applications Across Diverse Study Systems

Applying biotremology to monitor hemipteran pests

Oral Presentation
Substrate-borne vibrations play an important role in the courtship behavior of many insects in the order Hemiptera. Detection and replication of these vibrational signals can contribute to the management of key pest species. The Openly Published Environmental Sensing (OPEnS) lab at Oregon State University has developed an acoustic monitoring device that detects and lures calling insects, dubbed the ‘Pied Piper.’ In field experiments, the Pied Piper detected mating calls of Stictocephala basalis (Hemiptera: Membracidae) in Oregon vineyards. Subsequently, the trap design was adapted to lure Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), an economically important exotic invasive. This presentation discusses advances and challenges in the uses of bioacoustics for the surveillance of hemipteran pests.
