Interaction Between Insects and Apple (Malus X Domestica Borkh.): Insect Behavior, Genotypic Preference, and Plant Phenolics With Emphasis on Japanese Beetle (Popillia Japonica Newman)
… Olfactory stimuli of JB was evaluated with a Y-tube olfactometer. Beetles preferred the side of the Y-tube containing leaf tissue of apple or Virginia creeper over the side with no leaf. Beetles did not choose one plant species over the other. Bias test of beetle orientation in the Y-tube …

Factors affecting the response of thrips to an olfactory cue
… the responses of thrips to an olfactory cue. Y-tube olfactometer assays testing MI under controlled conditions using populations collected from different countries showed that WFT differ in their response to an olfactory cue depending on which region of the world they are from. The work in this …

Influence of living and non-living habitat complexity on arthropods in strip-tilled cabbage fields
… 2012, natural enemy behavior was observed in a y-tube olfactometer to determine the role of odor cues from decaying mulch on habitat choice. In general, natural enemies were not attracted or repelled by mulch odors. Further work is needed before implementation of these habitat management …

The application of novel mass spectrometric techniques for the analysis of volatile organic compounds in different environments
… on the emission of bVOCs below ground. Using a Y-tube olfactometer it was shown that ozone at environmentally-realistic mixing ratios (ca. 100 ppbv) disrupts the ability of M. persicae to locate a host plant. Ozone was also shown to disrupt tritrophic signalling by inhibiting the location of prey …
