“…This could indicate that D. suzukii is attracted to the berries by a ratio-specific blend of volatiles rather than a single key compound, which is the case for many insects [ 16 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ]. On the other hand, attractive effects of individual plant volatiles on host-specific insects (or a broad range of insects) are commonly observed as well [ 59 , 60 , 61 ]. Despite many efforts by us to combine volatiles in different concentrations in the naturally occurring ratios, we did not succeed in producing a blend that was more attractive than the single most attractive compound.…”

The spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is an invasive pest species from Southeast Asia that was recently introduced in Europe and North America. As this fruit fly lays its eggs in ripening soft-skinned fruit, it causes great damage to a variety of crops, including cherries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, plums and strawberries. Consequently, there is a great demand for an effective and species-specific lure, which requires the development of successful attractants. Until now, there is no lure available that is species-specific and can detect the presence of D. suzukii before infestation. As blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) is one of the preferred host crops of D. suzukii, the volatile compounds of R. fruticosus berries are here identified and quantified using multiple headspace SPME (solid phase micro extraction) GC-MS (gas chromatography–mass spectrometry). Subsequently, the attractivity of 33 of the identified compounds was tested with a two-choice laboratory bioassay. Acetaldehyde, hexyl acetate, linalool, myrtenol, L-limonene and camphene came out as significantly attractive to D. suzukii. The first four attractive compounds induced the strongest effect and therefore provided the best prospects to be implemented in a potential lure. These findings could contribute towards the development of more effective attractants for monitoring and mass trapping D. suzukii.

“…Information flows within food webs influence the behaviour, ecology and population dynamics of animals (Vos et al, 2006;Goldenberg et al, 2018;McInturf et al, 2019). The extrinsic information that plays a crucial role in the survival of animals includes cues on the availability of food and mates, oviposition sites, abiotic factors as well as the presence of competitors and natural enemies (Dicke & Grostal, 2001;Brodeur et al, 2017;Billeter and Wolfner 2018;Røstelien 2019). Fruit fly population dynamics and fitness are influenced greatly by sexual, feeding and oviposition behaviours, which mainly take place in tree canopies, it is to be expected that arboreal ant species will directly and indirectly influence these behaviours (Leskey and Nielsen 2018;Bekker et al, 2018).…”

Bacterocera zonata is a very serious pest of fruit crops especially mangoes over the globe. The present study was conducted to observe oviposition deterrence in B. zonata under lab conditions. Mangoes (Desi, Chaunsa and Anwar Ratool) were treated with ant cues and entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana. Oviposition deterrence was recorded when nonspecific and variety specific (Chaunsa, Anwar Ratol) mangoes were treated with ant cues and B. bassiana at different intervals (exposure to 4 days). It showed that the mean number of oviposition punctures tend to increase with time. Minimum fruits puncture was found at day 1 in B. bassiana treated mangoes, while at 4th day, maximum number of punctures were observed in untreated mangoes. B. bassiana treated mangoes showed minimum number of punctures than ant cues and untreated mangoes were observed with highest number of punctures.

“…In fact, it has been described that all insect chemoreceptors display a high specificity and sensitivity for the key-stimulus, including plant volatiles [ 6 , 7 ]. The “generalist odorant”-sensitive sensilla (or sensory hairs) associate specific neurons with specificity and sensitivity comparable to pheromone receptors, and in some cases, they pair receptor cell types specific to host semiochemicals and receptor cell types tuned to non-host semiochemicals [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Interpopulational Variations of Odorant-Binding Protein Expression in the Black Cutworm Moth, Agrotis ipsilon

A long-range migrant species of moth (Agrotis ipsilon) has served as a model to compare the expression profiles of antennal proteins between different continental populations. Our results showed that the American and French populations of the black cutworm moth, A. ipsilon, expressed the same odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), but apparently in different levels. Electrophoretic analysis of antennal protein profiles and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction using RNA as a template showed significant differences between the two populations in the expression of antennal binding protein-X (ABPX) and general odorant-binding protein-2 (GOBP2). However, the two A. ipsilon populations showed no differences in RNA levels coding for pheromone binding proteins (PBPs), suggesting that the expression of generalist OBPs is population-specific and could be affected by specific odor and/or chemical changes in external environmental conditions. To support the role of ABPX and GOBP2 with expression, the role of ABPX and GOBP2 is discussed in regard to odor detection, memorization and/or degradation of toxic chemical insecticides.
