To explore the courtship, mating and oviposition behavior of Chilo suppressalis (Walker) in a high dose sex pheromone environment, the mating disruption was simulated in a wind tunnel, and the sex pheromone titers were analyzed in combination with ...

Evolution of Divergent Female Mating Preference in Response to Experimental Sexual Selection [PDF]
Sexual selection is predicted to drive the coevolution of mating signals and preferences (mating traits) within populations, and could play a role in speciation if sexual isolation arises due to mating trait divergence between populations. However, few

Mobility of moths at the time of implementation of the mating disruption method, against Lobesia botrana, requires to maintain, around the vineyards a border area. Its width depends of the dispersal ability of egg laying females.

Mate choice, sexual selection, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals [PDF]
Humans have disproportionately affected the habitat and survival of species through environmental contamination. Important among these anthropogenic influences is the proliferation of organic chemicals, some of which perturb hormone systems, the latter referred to as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

A life history perspective on strategic mating effort in male scorpionflies [PDF]
Engqvist L, Sauer KP. A life history perspective on strategic mating effort in male scorpionflies. Behavioral Ecology. 2002;13(5):632-636.In species with high male mating effort, there is a trade-off between mating effort spent in a current mating and ...

Peach Twig Borer Mating Disruption [PDF]
Mating disruption became commercially available in the early 1990s, and was adopted by many Utah growers about a decade later. Use of this pest management technology can be daunting due to high up-front costs and monitoring requirements; however, after ...

(Z, E)-9, 12-Tetradecadienyl Acetate (ZETA) disrupts mating of Ephestia cautella
The tropical warehouse moth Ephestia cautella is a major pest of stored products in Sri Lanka, and difficult to control using currently-available insecticides. The sex pheromone (Z, E)-9, 12- tetradecadienyl acetate (ZETA) emitted by the females attracts

The costs and benefits of multiple mating in a mostly monandrous wasp [PDF]
Funding: NERC DTGThe taxonomically widespread nature of polyandry remains a puzzle. Much of the empirical work regarding the costs and benefits of multiple mating to females has, for obvious reasons, relied on species that are already highly polyandrous.

Evolutionary dynamics of mating-type loci of Mycosphaerella spp. occurring on banana [PDF]
The devastating Sigatoka disease complex of banana is primarily caused by three closely related heterothallic fungi belonging to the genus Mycosphaerella: M. fijiensis, M. musicola, and M. eumusae.
