The vibrational communication of &lt;em&gt;Macrolophus&lt;/em&gt; is more complex than in other mirids, with a signal repertoire composed of two elements, only produced by males, while the females are mute. The &quot;yelp&quot; signal consists of one or several consecutive brief pulses with harmonic structure and is commonly produced by stationary males before mating, as a key-element of courtship. &quot;Yelping&quot; is also associated with contacts between males. The &quot;roar&quot; signal differs from &quot;yelps&quot; in that it has a broadband frequency pattern, a longer and more variable duration than &quot;yelping&quot;, and is produced by males in association with walking on the leaf. Playback experiments did not affect male vibration emission, but when &quot;roaring&quot; was used as stimulus, it elicited a significant increase in the time spent walking. We detected significant differences between
&lt;em&gt;M.  costalis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;M.  pygmaeus&lt;/em&gt; in some spectral parameters of the &quot;roar&quot; and &quot;yelp&quot; signals, so these signals could contain species-specific information. We conclude that &quot;roaring&quot; and &quot;yelping&quot; vibrational signals are used by &lt;em&gt;Macrolophus&lt;/em&gt; in social communication, in particular in the context of mating behavior.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
