Abstract:
... Capture strategies for the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), are challenging. Here we developed and evaluated a multimodal trap which combines visual and olfactory stimuli. Visual stimuli consisted of LEDs emitting UV-A and visible light. Olfactory stimuli were comprised of the synthetic aggregation pheromone and odours from trapped H. halys individuals. Stin ...

Abstract:
... Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play essential roles in the functioning of insect peripheral olfactory systems. To fully understand the olfactory roles of OBPs in Halyomorpha halys, an important invasive pest found worldwide, we studied the expression and functional characterization of five OBP-associated genes from H. halys that are clustered in the genome. The tissue distribution of the OBP gene ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Colorado potato beetle [Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say); Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae] is a widespread key pest of potatoes and other solanaceous crops of the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Its evolution of multiple pesticide resistance is a continuing threat if chemical control is relied upon for pest management. An integrated approach including semiochemicals and other non‐pesticidal ta ...

Abstract:
... The cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), is an important stored product pest increasingly impacting museums and herbaria. Monitoring methods make use of pheromone traps which can be implemented using chili fruit powder as food attractant. Further laboratory studies evidenced that the main cues involved in this attraction are the terpenoids α-ionone and β-ionone. In ...

Abstract:
... Olfactory signals play an essential role in communication in animals. Pheromones are volatile or nonvolatile chemicals that trigger social responses among animals. Therefore, pheromone treatment could, in theory, be used to modify horse behavior to improve human–horse relationships. Androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) is a steroidal pheromone found in the saliva of boars and elicits responses ac ...
