Field capture of Thyanta perditor with pheromone-baited traps

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2011
The objective of this work was to evaluate the field attractiveness of Thyanta perditor synthetic sex pheromone-baited traps, its attractivity to other stink bug species, and the response of T. perditor to a geometric isomer of the sex pheromone.

Functional specificity of sex pheromone receptors in the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Male moths can accurately perceive the sex pheromone emitted from conspecific females by their highly accurate and specific olfactory sensory system. Pheromone receptors are of special importance in moth pheromone reception because of their central role ...

Attraction range of a sex pheromone trap for the damson-hop aphid Phorodon humuli (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

, 2017
The attraction range of olfactory response by winged female gynoparae (autumn migrants that give birth to oviparae, the sexual females) and male damson–hop aphids Phorodon humuli (Schrank) is investigated in field experiments over 2 years by analyzing ...

Identification of the Sex Pheromone of Female Eurata patagiata [PDF]

, 2018
Eurata patagiata Burmeister is a diurnal moth of the Arctiinae subfamily of Eribidae. The chemical nature of pheromones of the family has not been well studied. Calling behavior was observed.

Evidence for positive population‐level responses but not individual performance of sycamore aphids under elevated CO2

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The abundance and density of three common sycamore aphids increased under elevated CO2, although this was only statistically significant for Drepanosiphum platanoidis. The number of nymphs produced by individual D. platanoidis alates isolated in clip cages was not significantly affected, suggesting that population level response was not driven by ...

Structure, ratios and patterns of release in the sex pheromone of an aphid, Dysaphis plantaginea

, 2007
Insect communication is primarily via chemicals. InAphidinae aphids, the structure and ratio of iridoid(monoterpenoid) chemicals are known to be importantcomponents of the sex pheromone.

Morphology and Chemical Characterization of the Metathoracic Scent Gland in Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) is an invasive pentatomid species causing considerable economic losses in agricultural systems. Despite the ecological importance of the metathoracic scent gland (MTG) in chemical defence and communication, detailed information on its morphology and secretion composition remains limited. In the present study, the

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

Entomologia 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.

The genetics of sexually dimorphic traits implicated in sexual isolation in Drosophila : QTLs and candidate genes [PDF]

, 2008
This study is primarily concerned with assessing the influence of the sex determination genes, transformer (tra), doublesex (dsx) and fruitless (fru) on three sexually dimorphic traits within Drosophila; pheromone blend, courtship song and sex comb tooth

Binding of the General Odorant Binding Protein of Bombyx mori BmorGOBP2 to the Moth Sex Pheromone Components

, 2010
Insects use olfactory cues to locate hosts and mates. Pheromones and other semiochemicals are transported in the insect antenna by odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), which ferry the signals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs).
