Potential volatiles emitted from jasmine plants infested by Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) and its attraction to predatory Scolothrips sexmaculatus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2023
Herbivore-induced volatiles were extracted from fresh healthy jasmine plants (Jasminum sambac L.) and infested jasmine plants damaged by two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae and analyzed through Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to ...

Evaluation of Mosquito Attractant Candidates Using a High-Throughput Screening System for Aedes aegypti (L.), Culex quinquefasciatus Say. and Anopheles minimus Theobald (Diptera: Culicidae)

Insects, 2021
Several types of olfactometers have been used to evaluate mosquito responses to agents that mimic natural volatiles that repel or attract. The Y-tube olfactometer has been widely used to study repellents and attractants, while the high-throughput ...

Natural Repellents as a Method of Preventing Ant Damage to Microirrigation Systems

Insects, 2022
Ants are important because they damage agricultural equipment, including microirrigation systems. The aim of this research was to assess the efficiency of the incorporation of repellents in drip irrigation tubing as a method of protection against ant ...

Contrasting Volatilomes of Livestock Dung Drive Preference of the Dung Beetle Bubas bison (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

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,

The Role of (E)-2-octenyl Acetate as a Pheromone of Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister): Laboratory and Field Evaluation

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.

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.

Role of (E)-β-farnesene in systematic aphid prey location by Episyrphus balteatus larvae (Diptera: Syrphidae)

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 ...
