The response of the pollen beetle, Meligethes aeneus, to yellow water traps baited with individual lures of 25 floral volatile compounds was studied in 17 field experiments. The compounds comprised… (More)
The effect of trap design, trap color, and isothiocyanate (NCS) lures on the capture of the pollen beetle, Meligethes aeneus, was studied in field experiments. Unbaited yellow water and adhesive… (More)
Volatiles from oilseed rape, Brassica napus, flowers were sampled by air entrainment and their relevance to the natural odor profile of the flowers was confirmed by conditioned proboscis extension… (More)
Complex odor recognition in the honeybee was investigated using two behavioral assays: (1) the conditioning of the proboscis extension (CPE) with restrained individuals, and (2) the observation of… (More)
The response of the cabbage seed weevil, Ceutorhynchus assimilis to yellow water traps baited with some components of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) odor was studied in a series of field experiments.… (More)
Individually restrained worker bees were trained to recognize complex odors in a conditioned proboscis extension assay. Three groups of bees were considered, based on the responses recorded during… (More)
The pollen beetle, Meligethes aeneus, which is an important pest of oilseed rape, Brassica napus, and turnip rape, B. rapa var. campestris, does not oviposit in all species of the Brassicaceae. The… (More)
The pea and bean weevil, Sitona lineatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a pest of leguminous crops in Britain, central Europe and the north-western region of the USA [1]. We report here a… (More)
The effect of trap design, trap color, and a mixture of isothiocyanates on the capture of Ceutorhynchus assimilis (Paykull) was studied in a series of field experiments. Unbaited yellow water traps,… (More)
Electroantennogram (EAG) and single-cell recording techniques have been used to demonstrate the presence of separate receptors for (−)-threo- and (−)-erythro-4-methyl-3-heptanol on the antenna ofS.… (More)
