Anatomical site of pheromone accumulation and temporal pattern of pheromone emission in the ambrosia beetle Megaplatypus mutatus
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-09)
Megaplatypus mutatus (Chapuis) is a native South American ambrosia beetle that attacks live hardwood trees (e.g. Populus spp.), causing important economic losses to commercial plantations. Male beetles release the main ...
Identification of the Sex Pheromone of Female Eurata patagiata
(Society of Southwestern Entomologists, 2018-03)
Eurata patagiata Burmeister is a diurnal moth of the Arctiinae subfamily of Eribidae. The chemical nature of pheromones of the family has not been well studied. Calling behavior was observed. Using several chemical techniques ...
Tracking the sex pheromone of codling moth against a background of host volatiles with an electronic nose
(Elsevier, 2008-10)
Mating disruption is now widely used in apple growing regions where control of codling moth is difficult due to insecticide resistance. This strategy comprises the slow release of pheromone from controlled delivery dispensers ...
Mating-induced changes in responses of female Queensland fruit fly to male pheromones and fruit : a mechanism for mating-induced sexual inhibition
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
In order to reproduce, female tephritid fruit flies need both mates for fertilization and fruit for oviposition. Virgin females are prone to mating and approach males, attracted by their pheromones. Mated females, however, ...
Wind disrupts trail pheromone communication in the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
Although wind is a ubiquitous component of ecological systems and might affect pheromone communication, its effects have not been studied in depth. To test whether wind impacts trail pheromone behaviour, we studied the ...
Switching attraction to inhibition: Mating-induced reversed role of sex pheromone in an insect
(Company of Biologists, 2010-09)
In the moth, Agrotis ipsilon, newly mated males cease to be attracted to the female-produced sex pheromone, preventing them from re-mating until the next night, by which time they would have refilled their reproductive ...
Trail pheromone modulates subjective reward evaluation in Argentine ants
(Company of Biologists, 2020-09)
The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, is native to South America but has become one of the most invasive species in the world. These ants heavily rely on trail pheromones for foraging, and previous studies have focused ...
Mating disruption of the ambrosia beetle Megaplatypus mutatus in poplar and hazelnut plantations using reservoir systems for pheromones
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-06)
Megaplatypus mutatus (Chapuis) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae) is an ambrosia beetle native to South America, but it has recently been introduced into Italy and represents a serious problem in commercial poplar ...
Plant odour stimuli reshape pheromonal representation in neurons of the antennal lobe macroglomerular complex of a male moth
(Company of Biologists, 2012-05)
Male moths are confronted with complex odour mixtures in a natural environment when flying towards a female-emitted sex pheromone source. Whereas synergistic effects of sex pheromones and plant odours have been observed ...
Semiochemistry of the Bruchidae species
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-06)
The coleopteran insects of the Bruchidae family are one of the major pests of stored products like beans and leguminous seeds in general. Bruchids have co-evolved with the seeds of leguminous plants dealing with the toxic ...
