Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

From glacial echoes to timber pathways: Climatic–historical drivers and timber‐trade influence on the phylogeography of Ips sexdentatus in the Basque Country

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ips sexdentatus is expanding across southern Europe, attacking multiple Pinus species and showing the ability to colonize trees at early stages of decline. Genetic analysis of 668 individuals revealed 106 haplotypes, with Iberian populations as diversity hotspots, reflecting long‐term refugial persistence alongside more recent demographic expansion ...

Comparing verbenone‐based repellents for ambrosia beetle management in eastern apple orchards

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Non‐native ambrosia beetles (Xylosandrus germanus, X. crassiusculus, Anisandrus maiche) damage high‐density apple orchards across the eastern United States, motivating the search for selective, semiochemical‐based repellent strategies. Across Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, three verbenone formulations, sachets, SPLAT® VERB and a test SPLAT ...

Using a Generic Blend of Pheromones to Simultaneously Attract a Diversity of Elaterid Beetle Species Native to Eastern North America

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed attraction of eight elaterid species to a “generic” pheromone blend containing their eight known pheromones or sex attractants. All eight species were attracted by their specific attractants, as expected. Six species were attracted to the blend, but the remaining two species were strongly inhibited by unknown blend components.

Development of a pheromone trap monitoring system for orange wheat blossom midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana in the UK

open access: yes, 2007
Field-trapping experiments with synthetic 2,7-nonadiyl dibutyrate, the female-produced sex pheromone of the orange wheat blossom midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Gehin), demonstrated that pheromone traps were highly attractive to males and caught very few ...

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioral response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Conclusions: Our study presents evidence that Est-6 plays a role in the physiological and behavioral dynamics of sex pheromone response in Drosophila males and supports a role of Est-6 as an odorant-degrading enzyme (ODE) in male antennae.
