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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
