Response of Stomoxys calcitrans and Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) to Volatile Organic Compound Profiles from Ontario, Canada Dairy Farms
… sites. Further, we have used Gas-Chromatography-Electroantennography (GC-EAG) to identify VOCs presenting electrophysiological activity in S. calcitrans, for further exploration of their significance in behavioural modification. The data collected illustrates that VOC profiles taken at livestock …

Exploring Aethina tumida Biology and the Impacts of Environmental Factors to Generate Novel Management Strategies
… A. mellifera colonies. Through olfactometry and electroantennography, key volatiles in A. tumida attraction and repulsion were tested and sensitivity of A. tumida to several attractants and repellents was quantified on behavioral and physiological levels. An additional source of attractive …

The role of chemicals in the location of host plants by midge pests of UK fruit crops
… leaf midge antennae was assessed using electroantennography (EAG) but there were not enough responses to conclude that any compound was EAG-active. Apple leaf midges lay their eggs on apple leaf shoots. A suite of chemicals was identified which are produced by apple shoots. EAG runs were …

Re-investigation of the female sex pheromone of the legume podborer, Maruca vitrata (Lepidopters: Crambidae)
… (GC-MS) and gas chromatography coupled with electroantennography (GC-EAG). In this study two new components, (E)-10-hexadecenol E10-16:OH and (Z,Z,Z,Z,Z)-3,6,9,12,15-tricosapentaene (ZZZZZ3,6,9,12,15-23:H), were identified as a part of the M. vitrata pheromone blend along with …

Floral Scent in Salix L. and the Role of Olfactory and Visual Cues for Pollinator Attraction of Salix caprea L.
… Andrena vaga by gas chromatography coupled with electroantennography. Altogether 16 floral scent compounds of both Salix species were physiologically active. The main component 1,4-dimethoxybenzene led to the strongest antennal signals. 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene and lilac aldehyde are main floral …

The Role of Visual and Olfactory Cues in Host Recognition for the Specialist Bee Genus Diadasia, and Implications for the Evolution of Host Choice
How specialist bees distinguish their host plants from co-blooming non-hosts is not well understood, but it is thought that they may be physiologically limited in their ability to recognize the majority of visual and olfactory cues presented by flowering plants. Species in the genus Diadasia …
