Comparison of three types of traps baited with sexual pheromones for ambrosia beetle megaplatypus mutatus (coleoptera: Platypodinae) in poplar plantations
(Entomological Society of America, 2009-08)
Megaplatypus mutatus (Coleoptera: Platypodinae) is an ambrosia beetle native to South America that only attacks standing five trees and is a serious problem for commercial poplar (Populus L.; Salicaceae) plantations in ...
Pheromone Modulates Plant Odor Responses in the Antennal Lobe of a Moth
(Oxford University Press, 2014-05)
In nature, male moths are exposed to a complex plant odorant environment when they fly upwind to a sex pheromone source in their search for mates. Plant odors have been shown to affect responses to pheromone at various ...
Male Sexual Behavior and Pheromone Emission Is Enhanced by Exposure to Guava Fruit Volatiles in Anastrepha fraterculus
(Plos One, 2015-04)
Background: Plant chemicals can affect reproductive strategies of tephritid fruit flies by influencing sex pheromone communication and increasing male mating competitiveness.
Objective and Methodology: We explored whether ...
Effect of the mating plug on female chemical attractiveness and mating acceptance in a scorpion
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-04)
After mating, females may experience a decline in sexual receptivity and attractiveness that may be associated with changes in the production and emission of sex pheromones. In some cases, these changes are produced by ...
Geographic Variation in Sexual Attraction of Spodoptera frugiperda Corn- and Rice-Strain Males to Pheromone Lures
(Public Library Of Science, 2014-02)
The corn- and rice-strains of Spodoptera frugiperda exhibit several genetic and behavioral differences and appear to be undergoing ecological speciation in sympatry. Previous studies reported conflicting results when ...
Communication interference in sympatrically occurring moth species
(Wiley, 2016-01)
In moth species, females emit a species‐specific sex pheromone that is perceived over long distance by conspecific males. The species‐specificity in the chemical communication channel is achieved by a combination of unique ...
Heptyl butyrate, a putative pheromone involved in social communication of Vespula germanica wasps
(2018-02)
Greater knowledge on the social communication of invasive Vespula germanica wasps is needed to fully understand their foraging behavior. This is particularly valuable considering that poison baiting is currently the only ...
Monitoring oriental fruit moth and codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) with combinations of pheromones and kairomones
(Wiley, 2014-12)
Experiments were conducted in North and South America during 2012–2013 to evaluate the use of lure combinations of sex pheromones (PH), host plant volatiles (HPVs) and food baits in traps to capture the oriental fruit moth, ...
Traslucent pheromone traps increase trapping efficiency of ambrosia beetle Megaplatypus mutatus
(Elsevier, 2011-06)
Megaplatypus mutatus (=Platypus mutatus) is an ambrosia beetle native to South America. Unlike most ambrosia beetles, it attacks only living trees, penetrating the xylem of its host by boring long tunnels. These galleries ...
Post-mating sexual abstinence in a male moth
(Landes Bioscience, 2014-10)
In most animals, male copulation is dependent on the detection and processing of female-produced sex pheromones. In males, a refractory postejaculatory interval (PEI) follows copulation, allowing them to avoid direct ...
