Article Title: The Effect of Leaf Traits on the Excitation, Transmission, and Perception of Vibrational Mating Signals in the Tea Leafhopper Empoasca onukii Matsuda (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

Figure Lengend Snippet: Experimental design. ( A ) The setup used for playback and monitoring male calling signals of Empoasca onukii from other leaves to the leaf inhabited by a female. The same male calling signals were played back via a mini-shaker from leaves of different ages ( i , i = 1–10 from top to bottom) and propagated to the leaf that a female inhabited ( i = 7). ( B ) The vibrational signals and behaviors of a pair of E. onukii adults on a single tea leaf were recorded simultaneously via a laser vibrometer and two webcams.
Article Snippet: Leafhopper behavior was recorded via webcams (C1000e, Logitech, Lausanne, Switzerland), which enabled us to simultaneously observe behaviors associated with the emission of vibrational signals on the computers ( ).
