Abstract
The proposed project is part of the long-term programme of insect research at the National Institute of Biology in Ljubljana and represents the first complex and comparative study of biology, ecology and communication of the cosmopolitan pest species Nezara viridula in Mediterranean. The programme includes monitoring of the species in Slovenia (a), analysis of signal transmission in plants (b), analysis of signals and reproductive behaviour ( c) and synthesis with comparison of populations from different continents (d). Basic investigations give a possibility for future applications in agriculture.
