The spruce seed moth, Cydia strobilella L., is a serious pest on cones of spruce (Picea spp.) in the Holarctic region. Previous studies from different parts of its area of distribution have reported conflicting results on the composition of its sex pheromone. By gas chromatography with electroantennographic detection, coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, a Y-tube olfactometer bioassay, and field trials, the sex pheromone of Swedish populations of the species was identified as (8E,10E…

A 4-component sex pheromone of the Chilean fruit leaf roller Proeulia auraria (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
The Chilean fruit leaf roller Proeulia auraria is a pest of economically important fruit species. Two compounds attractive to males have been identified as ( E )-11-tetradecenyl acetate (E11-14:OAc)…
Assessment of genetic and pheromonal diversity of the Cydia strobilella species complex (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
TLDR
This study demonstrates the great potential of using pheromone trapping as a tool for identification and delimitation of taxa within cryptic species complexes.
Challenges of pheromone-based mating disruption of Cydia strobilella and Dioryctria abietella in spruce seed orchards
TLDR
The results show that mating disruption has potential to reduce cone damage in spruce seed orchards caused by C. strobilella and D. abietella, but optimisation of the technique is required to achieve consistent and efficient population suppression of these pests.
Antennal and behavioural responses of the spruce seed moth, Cydia strobilella, to floral volatiles of Norway spruce, Picea abies, and temporal variation in emission of active compounds
TLDR
It is suggested that male C. strobilella make use of host volatiles to aid them in their search for females as revealed by catches of males in pheromone‐baited traps.
Sex pheromone of the cloaked pug moth, Eupithecia abietaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), a pest of spruce cones
TLDR
With sex pheromones recently identified for two other moths that are major pests on spruce cones, the spruce seed moth, Cydia strobilella L., and theSpruce coneworm, Dioryctria abietella Denis & Schiffermüller, phersomone‐based monitoring can now be achieved for the whole guild of cone‐feeding moths in European spruce Seed orchards.
Use of Mixture Designs to Investigate Contribution of Minor Sex Pheromone Components to Trap Catch of the Carpenterworm Moth, Chilecomadia valdiviana
TLDR
It is concluded that the major pheromone component alone is responsible for attraction of male moths in this species and the need for appropriate experimental designs to address the problem of assessing responses to mixtures of semiochemicals in chemical ecology is described.
Visual cues of oviposition sites and spectral sensitivity of Cydia strobilella L.
Do asexual morphs of the peach-potato aphid, Myzus persicae, utilise the aphid sex pheromone? Behavioural and electrophysiological responses of M. persicae virginoparae to (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone and its effect on aphid performance.
TLDR
Using Y-tube olfactometry, it is shown that virginoparae of the peach-potato aphid, Myzus persicae, are repelled by high concentrations of nepetalactone and Electroantennography demonstrated that asexual female aphids are able to detect aphid sex pheromone components.
Comparative transcriptome analysis of sex pheromone glands of two sympatric lepidopteran congener species.
Identification of Host-Plant Volatiles and Characterization of Two Novel General Odorant-Binding Proteins from the Legume Pod Borer, Maruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
TLDR
The results suggested that MvitGOBPs and the seventeen floral volatiles are likely to function in the olfactory behavior response of female moths, which may have played crucial roles in the selection of oviposition sites.

TLDR
Synthetic E,E8,10-dodecadien-1-ylacetate and the natural pheromone elicited similar quantitative electrophysiological and behavioral responses from male moths.
Sex pheromone of hickory shuckwormCydia caryana Development of an effective field Lure
Extracts of the sex pheromone glands of femaleCydia caryana were evaluated by electroantennography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. These studies suggested the following compounds were…
Pheromone trapping of the spruce seed mothCydia strobilella L. (Lep., Tortricidae) in southern Poland in 1996–1997
TLDR
There were no significant differences between the numbers of moth trapped at different altitude in both areas, however, there were significant differences in case of trapping in the Beskid Śląski Mts.
Sex pheromone and diel periodicity of Cydia strobilella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) pheromonal communication
TLDR
The objectives were to confirm that female C. strobilella produce E8-12:OAc as a pheromone component, determine whether females produce additional phersomone components, and investigate the die1 periodicity of pheromonal communication.
Mating disruption of pea mothCydia nigricana F. (lepidoptera: Tortricidae) by a repellent blend of sex pheromone and attraction inhibitors
TLDR
Synthetic sex pheromone of the pea mothCydia nigricana, (E,E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-yl acetate (E8,E10–12: Ac), was applied in polyethylene dispensers at a rate of 30 g/ha and 600 dispensers/ha in a 0.6-ha pea field and male moths were attracted to dispensers.
Potential for mating disruption to reduce cone damage by the spruce seed moth, Cydia strobilella, in spruce seed orchards
TLDR
It is suggested that mating disruption has potential for controlling C. strobilella and to protect seed cones in white spruce seed orchards.
Identification of further sex pheromone synergists in the codling moth, Cydia pomonella
TLDR
Pheromone gland extracts of codling moth females were examined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and electroantennography and addition of dodecanol augmented male attraction to codlemone at the proportions found in female glands.
Attraction of pea mothCydia nigricana F. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to female sex pheromone (E,E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-YL acetate, is inhibited by geometric isomersE,Z, Z,E, andZ,Z
TLDR
Field attraction ofCydia nigricana males to synthetic female sex pheromone (E,E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-yl acetate, formulated on red rubber septa, declined continuously during two weeks due to isomerization of (E), which significantly reduced male attraction.
Filbertworm sex pheromone
TLDR
A study of the isomerization showed that regardless of the initial mixture of 8,10-dodecadien-1-ol acetate isomers, almost complete equilibration existed after one month, and this compound might have isomerized faster than theE,E isomer.
Sex pheromones and attractants in the Eucosmini and Grapholitini (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae)
TLDR
The geometric isomer was behaviourally active in males of Cydia andGrapholita (Grapholitini), either as main pheromone compound, attraction synergist or attraction inhibitor, and their reciprocal attractive/antagonistic activity in a number of species enables specific communication with these four compounds.
