Use of habitat odour by host‐seeking insects [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2016 ABSTRACTLocating suitable feeding or oviposition sites is essential for insect survival. Understanding how insects achieve this is crucial, not only for understanding the ecology and evolution of insect–host interactions, but also for the development of sustainable pest‐control strategies that exploit insects' host‐seeking behaviours. Volatile chemical
