TL;DR: Comparison ofVisual sampling methods and sampling of males with pheromone-baited traps revealed that trap catches were significantly correlated with the results from visual sampling methods, and with economic damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using generic pheromone lures to expedite identification of aggregation pheromones for the cerambycid beetles Xylotrechus nauticus, Phymatodes lecontei, and Neoclytus modestus modestus.
Lawrence M. Hanks,Jocelyn G. Millar,Jardel A. Moreira,James D. Barbour,Emerson S. Lacey,J. Steven McElfresh,F. Ray Reuter,Ann M. Ray +7 more
TL;DR: Overall, the attraction of multiple species from different cerambycine tribes to this compound at a single field site supports the hypothesis that the hydroxyketone pheromone structural motif is highly conserved within this subfamily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic variation in the pheromone system of the saturniid mothhemileuca eglanterina
TL;DR: Overall, the existence of different pheromone types in the differentH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of the Woodborers Monochamus carolinensis and Monochamus titillator (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) to Known Cerambycid Pheromones in the Presence and Absence of the Host Plant Volatile α-Pinene
Jeremy D. Allison,Jessica L. McKenney,Jocelyn G. Millar,J. Steven McElfresh,Robert F. Mitchell,Lawrence M. Hanks,Lawrence M. Hanks +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that monochamol is a male-produced pheromone for both M. carolinensis and M. titillator, and that antennae of males and females of both species detect it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phoracantha semipunctata (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), a Serious Pest of Eucalyptus in California: Biology and Laboratory-Rearing Procedures
TL;DR: An experiment on adult beetle diet showed that the provision of Sucrose water greatly increased longevity and fecundity over a distilled water control, but increasing the concentration of sucrose >5% did not significantly improve beetle performance.
