Whether or not the use of volatiles for attracting prey animals is linked with specific trapping mechanisms and whether carnivorous plants can be grouped into specialized ‘olfactory syndromes’ is discussed.

It is concluded that lure and kill can be highly effective in controlling small, low-density, isolated populations, and thus it has the potential to add value to long-term pest management.

Two unsaturated acetates, i.e., (E)-9-dodecenyl acetate (E9–12:Ac) and Δ11-dodocecenylacetate (Δ11– 12:Ac), increased the number of males reaching the source as well as straightness, linear velocity, and decreased the track angle of upwind flight.
Geographic Variation in Pheromone Chemistry, Antennal Electrophysiology, and Pheromone-Mediated Trap Catch of North American Populations of the Obliquebanded Leafroller

A novel device that uses ultrasound to disperse a solution of volatile chemicals as an aerosol using a motor-driven syringe and dynamically controllable speed of the syringe plunger is described.
Behavioral observations of codling moth, Cydia pomonella, in orchards permeated with synthetic pheromone
- P. Witzgall, A. Bäckman, J. Löfqvist
- BiologyBioControl (Dordrecht)
- 1 June 1999
Reducing pheromone concentrations towards the upper part of the tree canopy, together with the stimulation of male flight activity by synthetic phersomone explains failures to control codling moth at high population density with current dispenser formulations.
Pollinator‐prey conflict in carnivorous plants
- A. Jürgens, A. Sciligo, T. Witt, A. El-Sayed, D. Suckling
- Environmental ScienceBiological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical…
- 1 August 2012
The conditions under which a pollinator‐prey conflict may occur are analyzed, the evidence for the existence of PPCs in carnivorous plants is reviewed, and the mechanisms that may be in place to prevent or alleviate a PPC are explored.
Multicomponent Sex Pheromone in Codling Moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
- A. El-Sayed, M. Bengtsson, S. Rauscher, J. Löfqvist, P. Witzgall
- Biology
- 1 October 1999
This study shows that other compounds, in addition to codlemone, are involved in sex attraction of codling moth males, and offers the opportunity to enhance the behavioral activity of current dispenser formulations.
