Microorganisms and semiochemicals to manipulate aphidophagous predators

, 2016
Semiochemicals provide a powerful way for organisms to communicate and coordinate their behaviors. But they also represent opportunities for other organisms to intercept and exploit such signals.

Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita) habitat selection and movement are shaped by tree microhabitat availability in Eastern Romanian Carpathians

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1015-1030, September 2026.
We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Exploring the Possible Role of Semiochemicals in Quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.): Implications for the Biological Behavior of Cydia pomonella

Agronomy
The codling moth (Cydia pomonella L.) is a major pest of pome fruits worldwide, guided by semiochemicals to locate hosts and oviposition sites. Quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.), although less studied, is also affected by this pest.

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 512-529, September 2026.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Semiochemical-Mediated Host-Searching and Biological Control Potential of Trichogramma Wasps: Mechanisms, Behavioral Plasticity, and Pest Management Applications

Plants
Globally, Trichogramma Westwood (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) is known as the most effective biological control agent due to its ability to parasitize insect pest eggs.

RESPONSES OF COTTON APHID APHIS GOSSYPII AND ITS PREDATORS TO VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS EMITTED FROM INFESTED AND UNINFESTED CUCUMBER PLANTS

The Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science
The response of cotton aphid Aphis gossypii adults and their predators Coccinella septempunctata and Chrysoperla carnea to infested or uninfested cucumber leaves was tested using a Y-shape olfactometer.

The role of volatile semiochemicals in mediating host location and selection by nuisance and disease-transmitting cattle flies

, 2004
The role of volatile semiochemicals in mediating the location and selection within herds of Holstein-Friesian heifers by nuisance and disease-transmitting cattle flies was investigated using coupled gas chromatography-electrophysiology (GC-EAG), coupled ...
