Abstract: Sex pheromones are considered to play critical roles in partner communication of most parasitic Hymenoptera. However, the identification of sex pheromone components remains limited to a few families of parasitoid wasps. In this study, we functionally characterized a candidate sex pheromone component in Microplitis mediator (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a solitary parasitoid of Noctuidae insects. We found that the body surface extract from female wasps could significantly stimulate courtship behavior of males. Gas… Show more

“…To investigate the antennal responses of adult flies to synthetic compounds with a purity exceeding 95% from Sigma-Aldrich, the electroantennogram (EAG, Syntech) procedure was employed. The EAG procedure followed a previous research protocol with slight modifications . Specifically, two recording glass electrodes containing 0.9% NaCl solution were connected to each fly’s antenna.…”

“…The EAG procedure followed a previous research protocol with slight modifications. 21 Specifically, two recording glass electrodes containing 0.9% NaCl solution were connected to each fly's antenna. The recording electrode was placed in contact with the tip of the antenna, while the reference electrode was secured at the back to complete the electrical circuit.…”
