Abstract The combination of temephos and attractants from O.sativa was effective for lethal ovitrap in laboratory testing. However, the effectiveness field application needs further investigation. study’s objective to determine influence installation sites, season variation, attractant on efficacy. study used a quasi-experimental design. Lethal ovitraps were installed indoors outdoors 102 house...

Attractants used with sticky traps for monitoring navel orangeworm include artificial pheromone lures, ovipositional bait (ovibait) bags, and phenyl propionate; however, the have limitations of potentially becoming ineffective because full or dirty glue surfaces having access to data dependent on increasingly expensive labor. A study comparing detection a commercially available pseudo-acoustic ...

The Drosophila sex pheromone cVA elicits different behaviors in males and females. First- and second-order olfactory neurons show identical pheromone responses, suggesting that sex genes differentially wire circuits deeper in the brain. Using in vivo whole-cell electrophysiology, we now show that two clusters of third-order olfactory neurons have dimorphic pheromone responses. One cluster respo...

The effect of chemotactic substances, secreted by Escherichia coli, on the cellular slime molds was studied by deposition of bacteria near myxamoebae populations. Droplets of a bacterial suspension and a myxamoebae suspension were placed separately, at predetermined distances from each other, on a hydrophobic agar surface of low rigidity. Myxamoebae remained confined inside the droplets, except...

Most naturally occurring olfactory signals do not consist of monomolecular odorants but, rather, are mixtures whose composition and concentration ratios vary. While there is ample evidence for the relevance of complex odor blends in ecological interactions and for interactions of chemicals in both peripheral and central neuronal processing, a fine-scale analysis of rules governing the innate be...
