Factors affecting calling by female eastern spruce budworm, choristoneura fumiferana (lepidoptera: tortricidae)

TL;DR: In the case of spruce budworm females, the pheromone release rate is lower than if they called for short intervals only as in some other Lepidoptera.

Studies of physiologically active arthropod secretions: x. sex pheromone of the eastern spruce budworm, choristoneura fumiferana (lepidoptera: tortricidae)

TL;DR: The sex pheromone of the female eastern spruce budworm was identified as trans-11-tetradecenal by a combination of electroantennogram techniques, laboratory bioassays, and chemical analysis.

The alteration of calling behaviour by female Choristoneura fumiferana when exposed to synthetic sex pheromone

TL;DR: The calling behaviour of 0‐day‐old and 2‐day-old virgin female eastern spruce budworm moths, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) was observed during exposure to different concentrations of the synthetic female sex pheromone.

Observations on Geo-Orientation of Spruce Budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana, Adults

TL;DR: It was concluded that the gravitational force is sufficiently strong to maintain both sexes in geonegative positions while resting, and for the male, copulation is a strong stimulus, completely obscuring gravitational orientation, while for the female it is a weak stimulus causing no deviation from standard orientation.
