Influence of Odor from Wood-Decaying Fungi on Host Selection Behavior of Deathwatch Beetle, Xestobium rufovillosum
@article{Belmain2004InfluenceOO, title={Influence of Odor from Wood-Decaying Fungi on Host Selection Behavior of Deathwatch Beetle, Xestobium rufovillosum}, author={S. Belmain and M. Simmonds and W. M. Blaney}, journal={Journal of Chemical Ecology}, year={2004}, volume={28}, pages={741-754} }
Adult females of Xestobium rufovillosum de Geer demonstrated anemotactic orientation when exposed to an odor plume containing volatiles generated by wood-decaying fungi (Coriolus versicolor, Donkioporia expansa) and decayed oak wood (Quercus petraea, Quercus robur). They did not orient towards undecayed oak wood, beech (Fagus sylvatica), or pine wood (Pinus sylvestris). Although all insects tested showed anemotactic orientation, responses were nonlinear with respect to insect age. Adult females… Expand
