Mulch removal time did not have significant effects on Tuber melanosporum mycelium biomass
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2021)Aim of study: We aimed to i) evaluate the effects of mulching on Tuber melanosporum mycelium biomass and seedling growth (i.e. root collar diameter and seedling height) and ii) unravel the relationship between growth in ... -
Impact of Photoperiod on the Sexual Behavior of the Black Cutworm Moth (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
(Oxford University Press, 2001-04)We tested the hypothesis that changes in photoperiod alone are responsible for the delay in the onset of sexual maturity that has been previously observed in natural populations of the migratory black cutworm, Agrotis ... -
First record of parasitism of cockroaches (Blattodea: Blattellidae) by Anisia optata (Diptera: Tachinidae)
(American Entomological Society, 2002-11)Two specimens of Anisia optata (Reinhard) were reared from wood cockroaches (Parcoblatta species and possibly Ischnoptera deropeltiformis (Brunner)) collected near Raleigh, North Carolina, in 2001. This is the first host ... -
Captures of oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), in traps baited with host-plant volatiles in Chile
(Springer, 2018-01-30)Studies in Australia and China identified host-plant volatile blends from peach and pear that captured relatively high numbers of Grapholita molesta (Busck). To determine if these blends are attractants in other countries ... -
Feeding Volatiles of Larval Sparganothis pilleriana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Attract Heterospecific Adults of the European Grapevine Moth
(Oxford University Press, 2021-09-22)Plants release volatiles in response to caterpillar feeding. These herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) attract natural enemies of the herbivores and repel or attract conspecific adult herbivores in a tri-trophic ... -
Stover management modifies soil organic carbon dynamics in the short-term under semiarid continuous maize
(Elsevier, 2021-07-03)In croplands, the adoption of certain management practices may increase soil organic carbon (SOC) levels. In this study, we evaluated the short-term impact of crop stover management and the interaction between crop stover ... -
Enzymatic detoxification strategies for neurotoxic insecticides in adults of three tortricid pests
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-08-30)We examined the role of the most important metabolic enzyme families in the detoxification of neurotoxic insecticides on adult males and females from susceptible populations of Cydia pomonella (L.), Grapholita molesta ... -
Leafroller-induced phenylacetonitrile and acetic acid attract adult Lobesia botrana in European vineyards
(De Gruyter, 2019-08-30)We recently identified unique caterpillar-induced plant volatile compounds emitted from apple leaves infested with the larvae of various leafroller species. In subsequent field tests, binary blends of phenylacetonitrile+acetic ... -
Substrate-borne vibrational signals in mating communication of Macrolophus bugs
(Springer, 2015-07)The mirid bugs Macrolophus pygmaeus and M. costalis use substrate-borne vibrational signals during pair formation and in male-male interactions as determined by laser vibrometry. The vibrational communication of Macrolophus ... -
Cuticular hydrocarbons discriminate cryptic Macrolophus species (Hemiptera: Miridae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-12)Macrolophus pygmaeus is commercially employed in the biological control of greenhouse and field vegetable pests. It is morphologically undistinguishable from the cryptic species M. melanotoma, and this interferes with the ... -
Response profile of pheromone receptor neurons in male Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
(Elsevier, 2014-12)The response profile of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) of male Grapholita molesta (Busck) to the three female sex pheromone components [(Z)-8-dodecenyl acetate (Z8-12:Ac), (E)-8-dodecenyl acetate (E8-12:Ac), and ... -
Day-night and phenological variation of apple tree volatiles and electroantennogram responses in Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
(Entomological Society of America, 2006)Volatile compounds from apple trees (variety Golden Smothee) were collected in the field from attached apple branches enclosed in plastic bags in the morning and at dusk and during three growth periods (after petal fall ... -
Role of plant volatiles and hetero-specific pheromone components in the wind tunnel response of male Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to modified sex pheromone blends
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-02-27)Female Grapholita molesta (Busck) release a pheromone blend composed of two stereoisomeric acetates (Z8-12:Ac and E8-12:Ac), which in a 100:6 ratio stimulate maximum conspecific male approach. Z8-12:OH is described as a ... -
Similar worldwide patterns in the sex pheromone signal and response in the oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-02)The response of Grapholita molesta (Busck) males to three-component sex pheromone blends containing a 100% ratio of the major sex pheromone component, (Z)-8-dodecenyl acetate and a 10% ratio of (Z)-8-dodecenol, but with ... -
Smoke, pheromone, and kairomone olfactory receptor neurons in males and females of the pine sawyer Monochamus galloprovincialis (Olivier) (Coleoptera:Cerambycidae)
(Elsevier, 2015-11)The response of antennal olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) of Monochamus galloprovincialis to several odourants was tested using single sensillum electrophysiology. Behaviourally active pheromone, and kairomone (host and ... -
Interference of plant volatiles on pheromone receptor neurons of male Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
(Elsevier, 2015-10)In moths, sex pheromone components are detected by pheromone-specific olfactory receptor neurons (ph-ORNs) housed in sensilla trichodea in the male antennae. In Grapholita molesta, ph-ORNs are highly sensitive and specific ... -
