Molecules, 2022 Volatile cues can play a significant role in the location and discrimination of food resources by insects. Dung beetles have been reported to discriminate among dung types produced by different species, thereby exhibiting behavioral preferences. However,

Odour-mediated orientation of beetles is influenced by age, sex and morph [PDF]
, 2012 The behaviour of insects is dictated by a combination of factors and may vary considerably between individuals, but small insects are often considered en masse and thus these differences can be overlooked.

Insects, 2020 The pentatomid bug Bagrada hilaris is a key pest of brassicaceous crops in several areas of the world. Previous studies suggest that mate location of this species is mediated by volatile chemicals produced by males, among which the main compound is (E)-2-

Host preference of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) on six kinds of flour
Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2021 The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbts) is a major pest of flour from various grains. The infested flour is discoloured and will emit a disagreeable odour due to the secretion of benzoquinone from the insect’s abdominal glands. Considering the

A New State of the Art Stationary Dynamic Dilution Olfactometer
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2012 Public awareness towards environmental odours has increased with higher living standards. Still, nowadays, no instrument can yet replace the human’s specific perception of odours because of the complexity of the relationship and interaction between the ...

Effects of retro-nasal aroma release on satiation [PDF]
, 2008 It is suggested that the brain response of a food odour sensed retro-nasally is related to satiation. The extent of retro-nasal aroma release during consumption depends on the physical structure of a food, i.e.

European Journal of Entomology, 2005 The foraging behaviour of beneficials such as aphidophagous predators depend largely on volatile compounds emitted by potential preys. Even if polyphagous predatory species are considered, all the potential preys are not systematically localised and ...

Insects, 2023 An understanding of insect olfaction allows for more specific alternative methods of pest control. We evaluated the responses of the western flower thrips (WFT, Frankliniella occidentalis) in a Y-olfactometer to estimate gas-phase concentrations of the ...

A low-cost, MR-compatible olfactometer [PDF]
Behavior Research Methods, 2006 We present a design for an olfactometer, suitable for fMRI experiments, that can be constructed at extremely low cost. The olfactometer presents odors directly to the nose via a nasal cannula at unobtrusively low flow velocities, with no large assemblies required on or near the subject's face. The olfactometer can be controlled manually, or by computer
