“…The labial gland, but not the mandibular gland, was shown to contain octyl octanoate (24), and in bioassays this compound elicited trail-following in inexperienced bees. 45 The single compound was as active as the labial gland extract, suggesting it to act without synergists, as opposed to the observations made in T. recursa.…”

As pesquisas com feromônios de insetos tem uma longa e rica história, construída, primariamente, pelos estudos conduzidos no hemisfério Norte. Não é surpresa que estes estudos tenham apontado, em grande parte, para espécies relevantes dessas regiões do mundo, na maioria pragas agrícolas e florestais. As investigações com feromônios nos países da América do Sul vieram somente algumas décadas atrás, apesar da sua forte dependência agrícola e, conseqüentemente, no manejo de pragas. Nos últimos 20 anos, fatores econômicos, ambientais e técnicos têm caminhado juntos para gerar um pequeno, mas crescente, número de ecologistas químicos trabalhando na química e biologia dos feromônios na América do Sul. Neste artigo, foram compilados os resultados desta tendência. Foram revisados os estudos feitos com feromônios nos quais os cientistas da América do Sul têm participado em parceria com cientistas estrangeiros, majoritariamente grupos de química, como também os estudos realizados dentro da região. O principal objetivo são as pesquisas que envolvem a caracterização dos feromônios de espécies nativas, as quais compreendem as ordens mais importantes como Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Heteroptera e Himenoptera. É também apresentada uma meta-análise, incluindo a distribuição geográfica, a tendência dos trabalhos de colaboração ou independente, e a evolução nos últimos 20 anos dos artigos publicados na área. Finalmente, é enfatizada a importância do esforço coordenado para promover o avanço deste campo na América Latina, através do respaldo e colaboração internacional dentro da região. Esta meta deverá ser alcançada através de uma organização acadêmica regional, incumbida da realização contínua de encontros científicos.Insect pheromone research has a long and rich history built up primarily by studies conducted in the Northern hemisphere. Not surprisingly, these studies have largely targeted species relevant to these regions of the world, for the most part agricultural and forest pests. Pheromone research in South American countries came a few decades behind, albeit their strong dependence in agriculture and therefore in pest management. In the last 20 years, a combination of economic, environmental and technical factors have come together to generate a small but rising number of chemical ecologists working in pheromone chemistry and biology in South America. In this article we summarize the results of this trend. We review pheromone studies in which South American scientists have participated in collaboration with foreign scientists, mostly chemistry groups, as well as the ever-growing number of studies carried out completely within the region. We have focused mainly in research involving the characterization of pheromones from native species, which involve the most important insect orders, namely Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Heteroptera and Hymenoptera. We also present a simple meta-analysis including geographical distribution, trends in collaborative or independent work, and a 20-year evolution of published articles in the field. Fin...

Nesta revisão estão descritas as sínteses de feromônios de insetos desenvolvidas e publicadas por grupos de pesquisa brasileiros, e tem por objetivo apresentar o estado da arte desta área de pesquisa no país e fornecer uma informação rápida sobre as moléculas já sintetizadas e metodologias empregadas. As sínteses estão apresentadas em ordem cronológica, exceto quando se trata de diferentes metodologias para a mesma molécula.This review describes the syntheses of insect pheromones developed and published by Brazilian research groups and aims to present the state of the art of this area in the country, and also to serves as a quick view of the already synthesized molecules and employed methodology. The syntheses are presented in chronological order, except when they refer to different approaches for the same molecule.

“…The female-produced sex pheromone of S. frugiperda is commercially available in several countries, including Brazil. Pheromones have been a useful tool for monitoring male populations (Mitchell et al 1985(Mitchell et al , 1989Adams et al 1989;Pair et al 1989;Lopez et al 1990;Gross and Carpenter 1991;Weber and Ferro 1991;Malo et al 2004;Batista-Pereira et al 2006). Monitoring with pheromone traps is useful because pest pressure varies from farm to farm and over time.…”

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a major pest of maize and frequently demands control measures. The timing of insecticide application is a key factor in determining its efficiency, so an experiment was designed to investigate this. Application of insecticide was based on three criteria: (i) the number of trap-caught moths in a Delta-type trap with a commercial sex pheromone lure placed in the center of the target area, soon after plant emergence; (ii) the percentage of plants exhibiting pinhole-type damage (10% or 20%), and (iii) the percentage of plants exhibiting shot hole-type damage (10% or 20%) compared to a check plot without any control measures. We found that the number of trap-caught moths was, compared to the other methods, the2 best means of deciding on insecticide application in maize to control the fall armyworm. Using pheromone traps, we obtained the best performance of the insecticide Spinosad, causing >90% larval mortality. Without insecticide application, maize yield reduction due to fall armyworm larva damage was 39%.
