Communication interference in sympatrically occurring moth species
(Wiley, 2016-01)In moth species, females emit a species‐specific sex pheromone that is perceived over long distance by conspecific males. The species‐specificity in the chemical communication channel is achieved by a combination of unique ... -
Estudio comparativo de diferentes trampas de luz (LEDs) con energía solar para la captura masiva de adultos polilla del tomate Tuta absoluta en invernaderos de tomate en la Provincia de Entre Ríos, Argentina
(Facultad de Ciencias Agronómicas, Universidad de Tarapacá, 2017-12)Existen a nivel mundial una gran variedad de artrópodos plaga que causan perjuicios en cultivos hortícolas. Entre estos se encuentra la polilla del tomate Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) la cual ha sido ... -
Factores que afectan la sostenibilidad del uso de feromonas en grandes áreas para control de carpocapsa (Cydia pomonella) en valle medio del Río Negro
(Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2012-12)El control de carpocapsa (Cydia pomonella), plaga clave de peras y manzanas, mediante la técnica de confusión sexual (TCS) utilizando feromonas en grandes áreas o bloques conformados por productores vecinos, constituye una ... -
Fruit infestation patterns by Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata reveal that cross-recognition does not lead to complete avoidance of interspecific competition in nature
(Wiley, 2015-08)1. The avoidance of parasitized or infested hosts, which is a common phenomenon in parasitic wasps and phytophagous insects, may act both intra- and interspecifically. Most studies on chemically-mediated avoidance of ... -
Heptyl butyrate, a putative pheromone involved in social communication of Vespula germanica wasps
(2018-02)Greater knowledge on the social communication of invasive Vespula germanica wasps is needed to fully understand their foraging behavior. This is particularly valuable considering that poison baiting is currently the only ... -
Male Sexual Behavior and Pheromone Emission Is Enhanced by Exposure to Guava Fruit Volatiles in Anastrepha fraterculus
(Plos One, 2015-04)Background: Plant chemicals can affect reproductive strategies of tephritid fruit flies by influencing sex pheromone communication and increasing male mating competitiveness. Objective and Methodology: We explored whether ... -
Mating-induced changes in responses of female Queensland fruit fly to male pheromones and fruit : a mechanism for mating-induced sexual inhibition
(Elsevier, 2021-03)In order to reproduce, female tephritid fruit flies need both mates for fertilization and fruit for oviposition. Virgin females are prone to mating and approach males, attracted by their pheromones. Mated females, however, ... -
Monitoring oriental fruit moth and codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) with combinations of pheromones and kairomones
(Wiley, 2014-12)Experiments were conducted in North and South America during 2012–2013 to evaluate the use of lure combinations of sex pheromones (PH), host plant volatiles (HPVs) and food baits in traps to capture the oriental fruit moth, ... -
Primer reporte de un área de congregación de zánganos de Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) de Argentina = First report of a drone congregation area of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Argentina
(Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2017)La reproducción natural de las abejas melíferas ocurre en zonas denominadas áreas de congregación de zánganos (ACZ), visitadas por machos, denominados zánganos, y reinas integrantes de varias colonias. Dichas áreas se ... -
Wind disrupts trail pheromone communication in the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis
(Elsevier, 2022-10)Although wind is a ubiquitous component of ecological systems and might affect pheromone communication, its effects have not been studied in depth. To test whether wind impacts trail pheromone behaviour, we studied the ...
