Recording of whitefly vibrations: "piezo" versus "low-noise microphone with subtrate-air diffusion"
Whiteflies communicate before and during mating through abdomen oscillations which vibrations are believed to propagate mostly in the leaf (~100-400 Hz). They are very low-energy signals which are ...
