HOST PLANT RELATED PROPERTIES OF THE ANTENNAL OLFACTORY SYSTEM IN THE OAK FLEA WEEVIL, RHYNCHAENUS QUERCUS. ELECTROANTENNOGRAM STUDY

Abstract: Electroantennogram (EAG) recordings from the antennae of a highly specialized phytophagous species — the oak flea weevil, Rhynchaenus quercus L. — revealed two general properties of its antennal olfactory system: (1) a high and to some extent selective sensitivity to chemotaxonomically nonspecific compounds, namely the so‐called “general green leaf volatiles” as well as to geraniol and linalool, (2) a lack of marked differences in the general excitation level caused by stimulation with vapours from leaves of b… Show more

“…The carbon chain length of effective stimulants also affects the responses. Peak responses to primary alcohols of different carbon chain lengths were observed in many insect species (Visser, 1979; Kozlowski & Visser, 1981; Light et al ., 1988; Kang et al ., 1995), and L. sativae is no exception.…”

“…Generally speaking, 6 carbon straight chain compounds are more bioactive than 5 carbon, 7 carbon or 8 carbon straight chain compounds [13][14][15][16]. For example, fatty alcohols can cause obvious responses in female virgin Heliothis armigera moths, and the intensity of responses are related to the length of carbon chains, which could reach a maximum value by using 1-hexanol.…”
