Synergy between visual and olfactory cues in nectar feeding by wild hawkmoths, Manduca sexta
We performed field experiments to measure the relative importance of olfactory and visual cues in nectar foraging by wild tobacco hornworm moths, Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, U.S.A. We manipulated flowers of sacred Datura (Datura wrightii; Solanaceae) to experimentally decouple floral scent from visual display and presented these cues to free-flying ...
متن کاملBehavioural and electrophysiological responses of grape berry moth (Lep., Tortricidae) to selected plant extracts
Four non-host plant extracts from Bifora radians, Arctium lappa, Humulus lupulus and Xanthium strumarium, were tested against adult grape berry moths, Paralobesia viteana, for their potential as repellents or oviposition deterrents. Responses were compared with those elicited by the major component of the P. viteana sex pheromone. Moths of both sexes exhibited varying electroantennogram (EAG) r...
متن کاملSynergy between visual and olfactory cues in nectar feeding by na.ve hawkmoths, Manduca sexta
Communication between flowering plants and their pollinators involves innate, learned and deceptive sensory signals. Nocturnal, hawkmoth-pollinated flowers are among the most reflective and strongly scented known, suggesting the potential for multimodal sensory communication with pollinators. We measured the relative importance of these overstated signals, both alone and in combination, to nect...
متن کاملEffect of Aloe Vera Herbal Extract on Innate Immunity in Balb/c Mice Against Candida Albicans
Background: Based on the reports, Aloe vera extract, a herbal medicine, has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Also, this medicinal plant has considerable effects on innate immunity through cytokine secretion which resist fungal infections such as Candida albicans. Moreover, Aloe vera is considered as immunomodulatory agent and regulate inflammatory responses. Materials and Methods: I...
متن کاملRepresentation of primary plant odorants in the antennal lobe of the moth Heliothis virescens using calcium imaging.
The primary olfactory centre, the antennal lobe of Heliothis virescens moths, contains 62 glomeruli which process plant odour information and four male-specific glomeruli which form the macroglomerular complex, involved in processing information about pheromone and interspecific signals. Using calcium imaging, we recorded the spatio-temporal activity pattern of the glomeruli in the anterior ant...
