“…The opposite was true for permethrin. The avoidance of treated substrate with chlordane, methoxychlor, chlorpyrifos, and deltamethrin is similar to behavior seen in resistant strains of the house ßy, Musca domestica L., that showed a correlated behavioral resistance in their avoidance of malathion (Fay et al 1958, Kilpatrick andSchoof 1958). Physiologically, resistant strains of the house ßy also showed a correlated behavioristic resistance in their avoidance of baits (Fay et al 1958).…”

Seven selected insecticides were applied to three substrates and bioassayed for barrier efficacy and toxicity against the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, originating from colonies that differed in their tolerance to the insecticides. A profound substrate effect was seen with all insecticides tested. Sand was the most difficult substrate to penetrate and caused faster and greater mortality of C. formosanus. Increased tolerance in C. formosanus was accompanied by a decrease in penetration of treated substrata with chlordane, methoxychlor, chlorpyrifos, and deltamethrin. The opposite was true in the case of permethrin and bendiocarb. More tolerance C. formosanus displayed decreased mortality in the presence of chlorpyrifos, deltamethrin, bendiocarb, and fipronil. The opposite was true for permethrin.

“…Pyrethroids are thought to elicit behavioral response by irritancy or contact repellency, in which an insect is stimulated to leave the immediate toxic environment upon contact with treated surfaces (Lockwood et al 1984). However, the possibility that P. xylostella is able to detect and avoid insecticide treated surfaces before contact via the olfactory system cannot be ruled out, as demonstrated in adult house ßies (Kilpatrick and Schoof 1958) and a pyralid (Phelan and Baker 1987). Previous work demonstrated odor-mediated behavioral re- sponses to pyrethroids in P. xylostella larvae (Adams et al 1992, Lin et al 1993, and preliminary observations suggest that odor-mediated behavioral response to permethrin may be important in adult P. xylostella (M.F.…”

“…Avoidance of treated areas by ovipositing females may signiÞ-cantly decrease the exposure of their progeny to insecticides. Adult avoidance of contact with pyrethroids has been documented in cockroaches (Haynes 1988, Hostetler andBrenner 1994), mosquitoes (Haynes 1988, Sungvornyothrin et al 2001, adult house ßies (Kilpatrick and Schoof 1958), beetles (Hammond et al 2001), and adult Lepidoptera (Phelan and Baker 1987). However, oviposition behavior in response to insecticides has received relatively limited attention.…”

Phenotypic Variation in Adult Behavioral Response and Offspring Fitness in <I>Plutella xylostella</I> (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in Response to Permethrin

Phenotypic variation in behavioral response and physiological tolerance to permethrin was measured and compared between two populations of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.). A field population from Celeryville, OH, and a laboratory population originally collected from Wooster, OH, were compared. In laboratory choice bioassays, females from both populations were less likely to oviposit on cabbage leaf disks and seedlings treated with permethrin. The oviposition-deterrent effect was positively related to permethrin concentration. The laboratory population was significantly more behaviorally responsive to the insecticide and showed a significantly greater avoidance than the field population of the highest concentration of permethrin tested (1.50 g [AI] /liter). The physiological response of each population was measured by feeding bioassays, and the laboratory population was physiologically more susceptible to the permethrin. Larvae from the laboratory population that were fed permethrin-treated leaves had significantly lower growth rate, higher mortality, and lower adult fecundity compared with larvae from the field population. These data suggest that female moths that are more behaviorally responsive to permethrin produce offspring that tend to be more susceptible to the same insecticide, at least for the populations tested. The relationship between adult behavioral response and larval physiological tolerance to permethrin is discussed.
