Identification of Volatile Compounds Involved in Host Location by Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Phytophagous insects rely on plant volatiles to locate suitable hosts upon which to feed or oviposit. The boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, is the main pest on cotton crops in the Neotropical region and is attracted to host plant volatiles, especially ...

Transcriptomic Survey of the Midgut of Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2014 Anthonomus grandis Boheman is a key pest in cotton crops in the New World. Its larval stage develops within the flower bud using it as food and as protection against its predators. This behavior limits the effectiveness of its control using conventional insecticide applications and biocontrol techniques.

Influence of Two Acyclic Homoterpenes (Tetranorterpenes) on the Foraging Behavior of Anthonomus grandis Boh [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2016 Previous studies have shown that the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, is attracted to constitutive and conspecific herbivore-induced cotton volatiles, preferring the blend emitted by cotton at the reproductive over the vegetative stage. Moreover, this preference was paralleled by the release of the acyclic homoterpenes (tetranorterpenes) (E)-4,8 ...
