Figure 1

(a) Ethogram describing transition probabilities between behaviours that compose the process of pair formation in the greenhouse whitefly. Dashed lines represent no significant transitions (P > 0.05), whereas solid lines are significant transitions (P < 0.05). The percentage of observed transitions is indicated over each line. No significant transitions with percentages < 10% were not included in the ethogram; (b) A sequence of stereotyped mating behaviour in the greenhouse whitefly (author Sabina Avosani); (c) Oscillogram (above) and spectrogram (below) of GW vibrational signals. In I) male chirp and PT in call stage, II) male chirp and PT followed by FRS in alternated duet stage, III) male chirp and PT in courtship stage, IV) male chirp and PT overlapped by FRS in overlapped duet.
