Commercial permethrin elicits chemoreceptive responses on different Anopheles gambiae sensory appendages. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes exhibit takeoff responses when presented to commercial permethrin headspace. This product elicits electrophysiological activity in the antennae and tarsi. However, only the chemical information acquired from the tarsi plays a major role in the observed behavioral response.

Electroantennogram and Olfactory behavioral responses of Trabala vishnou gigantina (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) to herbivore induced Hippophae rhamnoides leaf volatiles [PDF]

PeerJ
The moth Trabala vishnou gigantina Yang, 1978 (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae), a leaf-eating pest, had a severe outbreak in the sea buckthorn, Hippophae rhamnoides L. (Elaeagnaceae) plantation in North China.

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Attempt to Quantify Molecules of Host Plant Volatiles Evoking an Electroantennographic Response in Anoplophora glabripennis Antennae [PDF]

Insects
Anoplophora glabripennis, is one of the most devastating wood borers of many broad leaf trees. Our previous results indicated that antennae of A. glabripennis showed electroantennogram (EAG) responses to several host plant volatiles.

Muffled olfactory and sensory cues from the reproductive stage soybean selectively reduce oviposition of a major polyphagous herbivore, fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda). [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Fall armyworm (FAW) preferred ovipositing on vegetative‐stage soybeans. While ‘mother knows best’ may not apply in soybean‐FAW system, muffled cues in the reproductive stage could positively influence host success. Abstract BACKGROUND While the mother knows best/preference performance hypothesis has been well tested in natural ecosystems, how these ...

The effects of human volatiles produced by skin microbiota on Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) taiwana host preference. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Identification of Female Sex Pheromone of a Plant Bug, Polymerus pekinensis Reuter (Hemiptera: Miridae) [PDF]

Insects
Insect sex pheromones have been widely used in integrated pest control due to their efficiency, non-toxicity, specificity, and environmental sustainability. They are considered a key component of green pest management techniques.
