Male E. binotata 'Ptelea' treehopper from an Illinois population signaling at 24 °C E. binotata male signal that contains 2 signals in 1 bout with 2 pulses each. Male E. binotata treehoppers make substrate-borne vibrations on the stems, petioles, and leaves of their host plants that travel throughout the plant.
Enchenopa is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are more than 50 described species in Enchenopa. [1] [2] [3] The genus underwent a major revision 2014, resulting in 51 species. Enchenopa binotata is a species complex made up of multiple species, often identified by their host plants. [1]
Nymphs of the treehopper Publilia concava have higher survivorship in the presence of ants even when predators are absent. This is suspected to be because uncollected honeydew leads to the growth of sooty mould, which may hinder excretion by treehoppers and photosynthesis by their host plants. Ant collection of honeydew thus allows treehoppers ...
This protein is known to be a factor that supports androgen and anchorage independent growth of mammary tumor cells. Overexpression of this gene has been shown to increase tumor growth and angiogenesis. The adult expression of this gene was once thought to be restricted to testes and ovaries but has been described in several organ systems. [16]
The Auchenorrhyncha suborder of the Hemiptera contains most of the familiar members of what was called the "Homoptera" – groups such as cicadas, leafhoppers, treehoppers, planthoppers, and spittlebugs. The aphids and scale insects are the other well-known "Homoptera", and they are in the suborder Sternorrhyncha.
Telamona ampelopsidis, like all treehoppers, feeds on the sap from under leaves. However, T. ampelopsidis exclusively feeds on the Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). The Virginia creeper was once placed in the genus Ampelopsis at the time that Thaddeus William Harris described the species in 1841, hence the species epithet ...
The Brazilian treehopper (Bocydium globulare) is a species of insect [1] belonging to the treehopper family (Membracidae). [2] It has unusual appendages on its thorax. While Bocydium can be found throughout the world, they are most prevalent in Africa , North and South America , Asia and Australia . [ 3 ]
Ants care for both nymphs and adults. [8] The ant species known to live symbiotically with keeled treehoppers are Camponotus ferrugineus, Formica subsericea, Prenolepis imparis, Tapinoma sessile, and Camponotus pennsylvanicus. [8] Ants feed on treehopper honeydew and assist the treehoppers fending off predators and facilitating feeding. [9]
