Distance and Sex Determine Host Plant Choice by Herbivorous Beetles
BACKGROUND Plants respond to herbivore damage with the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This indirect defense can cause ecological costs when herbivores themselves use VOCs as cues to localize suitable host plants. Can VOCs reliably indicate food plant quality to herbivores? METHODOLOGY We determined the choice behavior of herbivorous beetles (Chrysomelidae: Gynandrobrotica guerr...
متن کاملFemale mate-choice behavior and sympatric speciation.
Many models have investigated how the process of speciation may occur in sympatry. In these models, individuals are either asexual or mate choice is determined by very simple rules. Females, for example, may be assumed either to compare their phenotype to that of a potential mate, preferring to mate with similar males (phenotype matching), or to possess preference genes that determine which mal...

چکیده هدف از این کار بررسی الکترواکسیداسیون کتکول و مشتقات آن در حضور 4-فنیل سمی کاربامازید بوده است اکسیداسیون کتکولها ترکیبات نا پایدار کینونها را تولید می کنند که این ترکیبات می تواند در واکنش مایکل بعنوان پذیرنده نوکلئوفیل عمل نمایند. در ادامه اکسایش کتکولهای (a-c1) را درحضور 4-فنیل سمی کاربامازید در محلول آب/استونیتریل (90/10)بوسیله ولتامتری چرخه ای و کولن متری در پتانسیل ثابت مورد بررسی ...
15 صفحه اولIs mate choice in Drosophila males guided by olfactory or gustatory pheromones?
Author manuscript, published in "Animal Behaviour (2010) in press" 2 Drosophila melanogaster flies use both olfactory and taste systems to detect sex pheromones 1 and select the most suitable mate for reproduction. In nature, flies often face multiple 2 potential partners and should have an acute sensory ability to discriminate between different 3 pheromonal bouquets. We investigated both the p...
متن کاملAltered host plant volatiles are proxies for sex pheromones in the gall wasp Antistrophus rufus.
We describe a previously uncharacterized function for changes in plant chemistry induced by phytophagous insects: to provide cues for mate location. Larvae of the gall wasp Antistrophus rufus Gillette (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) feed within inconspicuous galls inside the flowering stems of the prairie perennials Silphium laciniatum L. and Silphium terebinthinaceum Jacquin (Asteraceae). Adult male ...
