Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of age and cuticular hydrocarbon variation in mating pairs of house fly, Musca domestica, collected in the field
S. M. Butler,Roger D. Moon,Nancy C. Hinkle,Jocelyn G. Millar,J. S. McElfresh,Bradley A. Mullens +5 more
TL;DR: Principal components analysis of the eight most abundant hydrocarbons from mating females, by state, revealed state‐level distinctiveness of Hydrocarbons in house fly populations, which may reflect genetic variation associated with environmental stresses in those geographical zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of single versus multiple mates: monogamy results in increased fecundity for the beetle Phoracantha semipunctata.
TL;DR: Fecundity, egg viability, and clutch size were lower, and time to eclosion were increased for eggs from females with multiple mates compared with monogamous females, and females may reduce costs associated with polyandry by spending less time on host logs where mating occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chiral Lepidopteran Sex Attractants: Blends of Optically Active C20 and C21 Diene Epoxides as Sex Attractants for Geometrid and Noctuid Moths (Lepidoptera)
TL;DR: Chiral and achiral attractants for one species often acted as antagonists for closely related or sympatrie species, indicating how discrete chemical communication channels may be maintained.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of host size on the sex ratio of Syngaster lepidus, a parasitoid of Eucalyptus longhorned borers (Phoracantha spp.)
TL;DR: The size of parasitoid progeny consistently increased with host larval age (size), and female parasitoids were larger than males across all host size classes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attraction of northern false chinch bugNysius niger (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae) to mustard oils
TL;DR: Of mustard oils tested, ethyl 4-isothiocyanatobutyrate, the corresponding methyl ester of which is found in seeds in the cruciferous genusErysimum, was the most attractive, however, the methyl esters itself was either less attractive or not attractive at all.
