Dutch elm disease is caused by the fungal pathogen Ophiostoma novo-ulmi which is transmitted by the native elm bark beetle, Hylurgopinus rufipes. We have found that four semiochemicals (the… Expand
Green leaf volatiles as antiaggregants for the mountain pine beetle,Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Scolytidae)
We tested the hypothesis that green leaf volatiles act as antiaggregants for the mountain pine beetle (MPB),Dendroctonus ponderosac Hopkins. In coupled gas chromatographic-electroantennographic… Expand

Our objectives were to identify and field test the sex pheromone of female Douglas-fir cone gall midge, Contarinia oregonensis (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). Coupled gas… Expand
Natural selection and divergence in mate preference during speciation
Sexual isolation can evolve due to natural selection against hybrids (reinforcement). However, many different forms of hybrid dysfunction, and selective processes that do not involve hybrids, can… Expand

Abstract 1. The work reported here investigated the incidence of dispersal by bagworm larvae Metisa plana (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), a species with apterous females and winged males.
Re-analysis of pheromone-mediated aggregation behaviour of European earwigs
Abstract Aggregation of the European earwig, Forficula auricularia L. (Dermaptera: Forficulidae), is known to be, in part, a response to aggregation pheromone. However, many aspects of pheromone… Expand
(E)- and (Z)-6-nonen-2-one: Biosynthetic precursors ofEndo- andexo-brevicomin in two bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae)

- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of Chemical Ecology
- 1 August 1992
The ability of (E)- and (Z)-6-nonen-2-one to serve as precursors of the common scolytid pheromonesEndo- andexo-brevicomin was examined in vivo. When mountain pine beetles (MPB),Dendroctonus… Expand
(2R,7S)-Diacetoxytridecane: Sex Pheromone of the Aphidophagous Gall Midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza

- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Chemical Ecology
- 1 March 2004
In a recent study, evidence was presented that females of the aphidophagous midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondi) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) release a sex pheromone to attract mates. Our objectives were… Expand
