Allochthonous chemical cues drive predation by a top carnivore
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Identifying the mechanisms by which mobile predators detect and select prey remains a central challenge in sensory biology and functional ecology. This study provides the first direct evidence that chemical cues associated with allochthonous organic matter (e.g.

Factors Affecting the Efficiency of Pheromone Traps Against Triboliun castaneum Herbst
This study was conducted in the laboratories of Department of Plant Protection from 25/4/1994 to 3/4/1996 to investigate some factors that may affect the efficiency of pheromone traps in attracting Tribolium castaneum.

It is unknown why males of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia giraulti produce large amounts of a costly sex pheromone although they were long thought to mate with their females already before emergence within the host. Mated females do no longer respond to the pheromone.

Monitoring the European pine sawfly with pheromone traps in maturing Scots pine stands
1 During 1989-93, field studies were conducted in Finland to develop a method based on pheromone traps to monitor and forecast population levels of the European pine sawfly (Neodiprion sertifer Geoffr.) and tree defoliation.

Trapping of Lobesia botrana with sexual traps in relation to pheromone dosage in the dispenser
Several experiments have been performed on sexual trapping of L. botrana males with different pheromone concentrations (E7, Z9 DDA). Performance classification was difficult and seemed to depend of several factors. High concentrations (10 mg in the dispenser) seemed to be attractive at long range and this effect was enhanced by the trap location in the

Asessment of the use of sex pheromone traps in the management of Spodoptera litura F. [PDF]
The tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera Utura F. is one of the most damaging insect pests on several field and vegetable crops. Sex pheromone, ‘litlure’ was used as an attractant in pheromone traps to monitor male moth activity, and to study the relationship
