Scaphoideus titanus, the American grapevine leafhopper, is an insect of the
vector of the grapevine phytoplasma disease flavescence dorée.[1] Mating requires species-specific vibrational patterns that males emit to the females, which are often victim to reproductive interference, including vibrational mating disruption caused by humans for pest control purposes.[2] Nymphs do not engage in vibrational communication.[3]
