TL;DR: Males’ exposure to parapheromones, such as phenyl propanoids, ginger root oil and trimedlure can enhance the mating success of sterile flies used in SIT programs, and PPs are also a powerful tool to improve reduced-risk monitoring dispensers and the male annihilation technique, with low side effects on non-target insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pheromonal communication involved in courtship behavior in Diptera.
TL;DR: The review discusses diverse courtship behaviors in Diptera, with a special focus on the sex pheromones involved, and their importance in species recognition is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electroantennogram responses of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata to identified volatile constituents from calling males
TL;DR: Behavior bioassays on each of the five ‘major’ identified components as well as a blend of six of the compounds showed some degree of attractancy to virgin females which in some cases approached the response to a ‘pheromonal’ standard (male odors absorbed onto filter paper).
Book ChapterDOI
Biosynthesis and Endocrine Regulation of Sex Pheromone Production in Diptera
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the biosynthesis and endocrine regulation of sex pheromone production in Diptera, which is the end result of a complex series of behaviors that are released by taste, touch, sound, smell, and sight.
Book ChapterDOI
Pheromones, Male Lures, and Trapping of Tephritid Fruit Flies
TL;DR: Various factors influencing the efficacy of male lures, including fly age, prior lure ingestion, selection for non-responsiveness, interspecific differences in responsiveness, and the use of liquid versus solid dispensers are discussed.
