Immunolocalization of odorant-binding proteins in noctuid moths (Insecta, Lepidoptera).
Odorant-binding proteins were studied in the noctuid moths Agrotis segetum, Autographa gamma, Helicoverpa armigera, Heliothis virescens and Spodoptera littoralis using antisera raised against the pheromone-binding protein (PBP) and general odorant-binding protein 2 (GOBP2) of Antheraea polyphemus (Saturniidae). Proteins immunoreacting with these antisera were only found on the antennae and PBP ...
متن کاملGenital and body allometry in two species of noctuid moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
One-size-fits-all and related hypotheses predict that static allometry slopes for male genitalia will be consistently lower than 1.0 and lower than the slopes for most other body parts (somatic traits). We examined the allometry of genitalic and somatic morphological traits in males and females of two species of noctuid moths, Spodoptera exigua (H€ ubner, [1808]) and Helicoverpa armigera (H€ ub...
متن کاملPhylogenetic utility of the nuclear gene dopa decarboxylase in noctuoid moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera: noctuoidea).
Phylogenetic utility for the nuclear gene encoding dopa decarboxylase (DDC), little used in systematics, was recently demonstrated within the noctuid moth subfamily Heliothinae. Here we extend the test of the utility of a 709-bp DDC fragment to deeper levels, analyzing 49 species representing major groups across the superfamily Noctuoidea. Parsimony, distance, and maximum-likelihood analyses re...
متن کاملAre odorant-binding proteins involved in odorant discrimination?
Pheromone-sensitive sensilla trichodea of nine moth species belonging to six families and three superfamilies of Lepidoptera were immunolabelled with an antiserum against the pheromone-binding protein of Antheraea polyphemus. Strong immunolabelling of the sensillum lymph was observed in all long sensilla trichodea of A. polyphemus, A. pernyi (Saturniidae), Bombyx mori (Bombycidae) and Manduca s...
متن کاملMechanics of a 'simple' ear: tympanal vibrations in noctuid moths.
Anatomically, the ears of moths are considered to be among the simplest ears found in animals. Microscanning laser vibrometry was used to examine the surface vibrations of the entire tympanal region of the ears of the noctuid moths Agrotis exclamationis, Noctua pronuba, Xestia c-nigrum and Xestia triangulum. During stimulation with ultrasound at intensities known to activate receptor neurones, ...
