Aphid parasitism alters induced plant responses allowing a hyperparasitoid to locate its hidden parasitoid host. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Plants typically host insect communities composed of multiple trophic levels that are intricately linked through interactions mediated by the shared food plant. Hyperparasitoids are top‐level carnivores in such systems, preying on parasitoid larvae developing inside herbivores. These hyperparasitoids can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of

Expanded olfactometer for measuring reaction time to a target odor during background odor presentation

Heliyon, 2019
Current olfactometers can insert a target odor into the flow of odorless air as a pulse (i.e., replace odorless air with target odor for a very short time), but no previously designed olfactometer can insert a pulse of target odor into a flow of ...

Attraction of Culex mosquitoes to aldehydes from human emanations. [PDF]

, 2017
Anecdotes related to preferential mosquito bites are very common, but to date there is no complete explanation as to why one out of two people systematically receives more mosquito bites than the other when both are equally accessible. Here we tested the

Green Lacewing Chrysoperla externa Is Attracted to Volatile Organic Compounds and Essential Oils Extracted from Eucalyptus urograndis Leaves

Plants
Plant herbivore interactions have long been recognized as a complex interplay influenced by various factors, including plant volatile emissions. Understanding the role of these volatiles in mediating plant predator interactions is crucial for developing ...

Olfactory response of Habrobracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to Helicoverpa armigera and its two host plants [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2019
The volatiles emitted by herbivorous insects and herbivore-damaged plants play an important role in foraging behaviour of parasitoids that lead to host location of parasitic wasps.
