The effect of fatty acids and their alpha‐fluoro analogs on the feeding response and development of the hidebeetle Dermestes maculatus Deg.

Abstract: Larvae and adults of the species Dermestes maculatus were attracted by palmitic and stearic acids and repelled by a lower homolog, caprylic acid. Lauric acid, which strongly deterred larvae, was phagostimulatory to adults. Palmitic and stearic acids enhanced larval growth and metamorphosis, whereas caprylic and lauric acids were inhibitory. The above effects parallel the feeding response. Larvae differed from adults in their response to alpha fluoro fatty acids. The former were invariably repelled by the fluor… Show more

“…Some of the above water soluble wheat components are both phagostimulants and nutrients for several species of storage insects (LEVINSON and LEVIN-SON 1978) like potassium and sodium salts for larvae of Anthrenus fluvipes (BAKER and SCHWALBE 1975), saccharose, maltose, glucose and fructose for larvae of Plodiu interpunctellu (BAKER and MABIE 1973) as well as amylopectin and dextrin for adult Sitophilus o y z u e (CHIPPENDALE 1972). Among the wheat lipids, certain triglycerides were found to be aggregants for adults of Tribolium confusum, T. custuneum (TAMAKI et al 1971 ;STARRAT and LOSCHIAVO 1972), (NAWROT and CZAPLICKY 1978) and for larvae of Sitotrogu cerealella (CHIPPENDALE and MANN 1972), while several long-chain, saturated and unsaturated, fatty acids are phagostimulants for Dermestes muculutus (COHEN and LEVINSON 1974;LEVINSON et al 1980) and, in combination with saccharose, for Plodiu interpunctellu (BAKER and MABIE 1973).…”
