Abstract: Essential oils of aromatic plants represent an alternative to classical pest control with synthetic chemicals. They are especially promising for the alternative control of stored product pest insects. Here, we tested behavioral and electrophysiological responses of the stored product pest Tribolium confusum, to the essential oil of a Brazilian indigenous plant, Varronia globosa, collected in the Caatinga ecosystem. We analyzed the essential oil by GC-MS, tested the effects of the entire oil and its major compo… Show more

“…Although eucalyptol and limonene reportedly elicit antennal responses in another species of dung beetle (O. binodis) [40], no apparent role of these VOCs in attracting B. bison was noted. However, the degree of attractiveness of odor sources for beetles can be influenced by the differential abundance and/or ratios of components as well as the concentration of VOCs regardless of the number of components in a blend [43,44]. Further work focused on quantification of dung VOCs and dose-dependent EAG studies are required to assess the importance of compound abundance and ratios involved in dung beetle attraction and discrimination.…”
