“…Many studies reported that gregarious adult locusts released many bioactive volatiles from their bodies, playing a critical role in the mediation of aggregation behavior, sexual maturation and mating (Pener and Yerushalmi, 1998;Ferenz and Seidelmann, 2003;Hassanali et al, 2005). These studies were mainly focused on the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål) (Mahamat et al, 1993(Mahamat et al, , 2000Torto et al, 1994;Seidelmann and Ferenz, 2002;Rono et al, 2008). To some extent, the determination of these bioactive body volatiles can contribute to the development of new, environmentally benign methods of locust control, such as mass trapping and disruption of behaviors (Rochat et al, 2000;Rosa et al, 2006).…”
