Journal Article
Respuesta de Tecia solanivora (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) a compuestos volátiles de papa, Solanum tuberosum
TL;DR: The evaluation of additional synthetic compounds from the potato plant and their blends are suggested to get a better understanding of behaviour in this insect, Tecia solanivora.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peter Witzgall,W. Sauter,Hans Rudolf Buser,Stefan Rauscher,Heinrich Arn,P. J. Charmillot,Th. Wildbolz +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the pheromone of Grapholita lobarzewskii was found to be a blend of (E)-8-dodecenyl acetate (E8−12:Ac) and (Z)-8−8−11:Ac.
Journal ArticleDOI
Odorant receptor phylogeny confirms conserved channels for sex pheromone and host plant signals in tortricid moths
Francisco Gonzalez,Felipe Borrero-Echeverry,Júlia Katalin Jósvai,Maria Strandh,Maria Strandh,C. Rikard Unelius,Miklós Tóth,Peter Witzgall,Marie Bengtsson,William B. Walker,William B. Walker +10 more
TL;DR: A conserved olfactory channel for a sex pheromone and a host plant volatile substantiates the alliance of social and habitat signals in insect chemical communication and improves understanding of the mechanisms of host plant attraction in insect herbivores and for the further development of sustainable insect control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex pheromone of apple fruit moth Argyresthia conjugella (Lepidoptera: Argyresthiidae)
Gunnhild Jaastad,Marie Bengtsson,Peter J. Anderson,Sverre Kobro,Geir K. Knudsen,Peter Witzgall +5 more
TL;DR: The female sex pheromone of apple fruit moth is investigated in order to develop a reliable lure, which can be used to detect migration of Apple fruit moth into orchards and thus to avoid preventive insecticide sprays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hanseniaspora uvarum Attracts Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) With High Specificity
TL;DR: It is suggested that synthetic yeast headspace formulations might advance the development of more selective monitoring traps with reduced by-catch, and represent a suitable substrate for theDevelopment of lures that are more specific than vinegar and wine.
