The construction of a programmable olfactometer [PDF]
Behavior Research Methods & Instrumentation, 1970 A new type of multichannel olfactometer is described, and the results are given for gas chromatographical standardization of this equipment. The olfactometer keeps 24 odorous substances available for presentation, consecutively, two per trial, or combinations of the two.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Host‐associated volatiles mediate host location in Cephalonomia tarsalis, with faecal odours from fourth‐instar larvae, particularly 1‐pentadecene, attracting females and supporting the biological control of stored‐product pest beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding how parasitoids locate their hosts is essential for improving the effectiveness of ...

An olfactometer for small rodents [PDF]
Behavior Research Methods, Instruments, & Computers, 1984 An olfactometer that captures and delivers biological odors at experimenter-controlled times, without dilution, is described. The apparatus is quiet, efficient, versatile, animal-safe, and fairly inexpensive. Tests indicate that the device is successful in isolating transitory odors.

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.
