Behavioural responses of peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to entomopathogenic fungi infected conspecifics

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Myzus persicae showed no detectable behavioural response to Beauveria bassiana‐colonised agar alone. Aphids spent significantly more time in odour fields containing EPF‐infected conspecifics than healthy aphids, agar or blank air. EPF infection may alter host‐associated odours, suggesting pathogen‐mediated cues could influence aphid behaviour and ...

Semiochemicals used in host location by the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei

, 2009
The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei is a serious pest in many coffee growing countries. Electrophysiological and behavioral responses of H. hampei to volatiles of different phenological stages of coffee, Coffea arabica, fruits were studied in ...

Where are they now? Establishment and impact reports of bark beetle biocontrol agents with a case study of introduced parasitoids from Southeast Queensland, Australia

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Twenty‐four bark beetle biocontrol programmes involving 41 natural enemy introductions are reported globally. A total of 36.6% of agents were established and 9.8% were reported effective, while many agent establishments and impacts often remained unassessed and incomparable across regions.

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

Agricultural 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 ...

Predator–prey interaction in insects and arachnids: a chemical ecology perspective

Academia Environmental Sciences and Sustainability
Animals emit distinctive semiochemicals—chemical substances that mediate interactions between organisms—and many of them have evolved means to detect and respond to these chemicals emitted by others.

Analytical Methods for Chemical and Sensory Characterization of Scent-Markings in Large Wild Mammals: A Review

Sensors, 2014
In conjoining the disciplines of “ethology” and “chemistry” the field of “Ethochemistry” has been instituted. Ethochemistry is an effective tool in conservation efforts of endangered species and the understanding of behavioral patterns across all species.

Responses of the putative trachoma vector, Musca sorbens, to volatile semiochemicals from human faeces [PDF]

, 2020
The putative vector of trachoma, Musca sorbens, prefers to lay its eggs on human faeces on the ground. This study sought to determine whether M. sorbens females were attracted to volatile odours from human faeces in preference to odours from the faeces ...
