“…The diel periodicity of female calling is influenced by a wide range of both abiotic and biotic factors, such as temperature, photoperiod, wind speed, humidity, host plants, and female age (McNeil, ). However, changes in female calling behavior in response to conspecific pheromones, referred to as pheromone autodetection (Ochieng et al., ), has received considerably less attention than other parameters, even though the phenomenon has been reported in Arctiidae (Schneider et al., ; Grant & O'Connell, ), Tortricidae (den Otter et al., , ; Palaniswamy & Seabrook, ; De Cristofaro et al., ; DeLury et al., ; Stelinski et al., ; Gökçe et al., ; Harari et al., ), Sphingidae (Kalinová et al., ), Sesiidae (Pearson & Schal, ), and Noctuidae (Light & Birch, ; Ljungberg et al., ; Fan et al., ; Groot et al., ; Silvegren et al., ; Yang et al., ; Cruz & Eizaguirre, ). As seen from these studies, the behaviors expressed when exposed to conspecific pheromones, and the potential benefits accrued from such changes, vary considerably among species.…”
