“…Phytophagous insects use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to locate suitable host plants for feeding and reproduction (Bruce et al, 2005). Tracking of host plants through these olfactory cues is mediated by species‐specific compounds or by blends of ubiquitous compounds at specific ratios (Bruce et al, 2005), which indicate food quality, plant defensive status, and presence of mating conspecifics (Pareja & Pinto‐Zevallos, 2016). These VOCs can be either constitutive (stored in specialized compartments of the plant tissues) or induced (produced in specific biosynthetic pathways) and their emission and/or synthesis are triggered by a variety of biotic and abiotic stress factors (Niinemets et al, 2013).…”

The bamboo powderpost beetle, Dinoderus minutus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), is the major post-harvest pest of several bamboo species worldwide.Conspecific adults colonize injured bamboo stems, primarily those with low moisture content. Here, the volatiles from dry cut stems of Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex J.C. Wendl (Poaceae) were identified and field-tested for attraction of adults of D. minutus.

“…Another important avenue to better understand the functions of VOCs revolves around the integration of induced responses to multiple stress (Pareja and Pinto-Zevallos 2016) . Although insect herbivory (Rowen and Kaplan 2016) and plant nutrition (Islam et al 2017;Ormeño et al 2008) in uence VOCs emissions, there are still major gaps in knowledge about joint effects of both factors on plant volatile pro les (but see Chen 2013 in cotton; De Lange and Rodriguez-Saona 2019 in cranberry ).…”

Over recent years, major progress in experimental approaches have bring insights about the ecological functions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by plants. However, deciphering volatile emissions in a methodologically robust and ecologically relevant manner remains a challenging issue. A surge in interest is required to characterize potential blind spots in volatile sampling that could result in dramatic bias in our understanding of VOCs. In parallel, ecologists need to account for various environmental factors in order to address appropriately the sources of variations of VOCs. Here we use two common porous polymers, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and Porapak Q, to collect VOCs released by tomato exposed to herbivory in combination with nitrogen shortage. We dissect two key features of volatile blends, i.e., their composition and their diversity. Upon nitrogen limitation, Porapak Q stresses the up-regulation of a common defensive compound (methyl salicylate), while herbivory induces three terpenes involved in the recruitment of natural enemies of Tuta absoluta (2-carene, ɑ-pinene and β-phellandrene). This study suggests that the combination of resource availability and herbivory governs the differential production of generalist and specific VOCs that are active against a broad spectrum or particular herbivore species, respectively. But PDMS was found unsuitable to observe such patterns in the composition of VOC emissions. Additionally, Porapak Q was found more sensitive than PDMS to track the increase in the diversity of stress-related VOC emissions upon nitrogen limitation. This suggests that plants growing with poor resources release more information in surroundings. We discuss particular implications for tri-trophic-mediated plant defences.

“…Studies have highlighted the consequences of herbivore identity and order of herbivore arrival on the subsequent arthropod community, including early and late season herbivores as well as their natural enemies (Dicke, Van Loon, & Soler, ; Pareja & Pinto‐Zevallos, ; Stam et al, ), but only a few have examined which sequence of infestation is ecologically relevant for these studies (Erb et al, ; Oliveira & Pareja, ; Poelman et al, ). Overall, our study showed that multiple infestation in coffee plants by red spider mites followed by white mealybugs is likely to be ecologically relevant order and needs further investigation into the effect this has on the expression and modulation of coffee defences under more realistic conditions to assess the effects on the community composition.…”

Plants under herbivore attack often respond defensively by mounting chemical and physical defences. However, some herbivores can manipulate plant defences to their own benefit by suppressing the expression of induced defences. These herbivoreinduced changes specific to the attacking herbivore can either facilitate or impede the colonization and establishment of a second herbivore. Although recent studies have focused on the effect of multiple herbivory on plant induced response and the third trophic level, few have examined the ecological relevance of multiple herbivores sharing the host. Here, we investigated whether herbivory by the white mealybug Planococcus minor (Maskell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) or the red spider mite Olygonychus ilicis (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae), two herbivores that peak in coffee plantations during the dry season, may facilitate the colonization and establishment of the other species in coffee plants. Dual-choice arena tests showed that white mealybugs preferred mite-infested over uninfested coffee plants as hosts. Fifteen days after the release of 50 first-instar P. minor nymphs, greater numbers of nymphs and adults were found on mite-infested than uninfested plants, indicating superior performance on mite-infested plants. On the other hand, female red spider mites did not show clear preference between uninfested and mealybug-infested plants and deposited similar numbers of eggs on both treatments. In a no-choice test, red spider mites performed poorly on mealybug-infested plants with a smaller number of eggs, nymphs, females and males found in mealybug-infested plants relative to uninfested plants. Thus, our results indicate that coffee plants are more likely to be infested by the red spider mite before white mealybug, rather than the inverse sequence (i.e. mealybug infestation followed by red spider mites). Our findings are discussed in the context of plant manipulation reported for pseudococcid mealybugs and spider mites.
