“…For example, the volatile compounds from Bagrada hilaris Burmeister males extracted in n-hexane attracted adult females [29] . n-Hexane extracts of Nabis pseudoferus and Nabis rugosus males also attracted females obviously, yet extracts of adults showed no attraction to the same sex [30] . Other studies also demonstrated that volatiles of adult T. papillosa significantly attracted Anastatus japonicus [12] .…”

Preliminary results of petri dish bioassay showed that n-hexane and ether extracts of body surfaces of female and male Tessaratoma papillosa (Drury) were significantly attractive to the opposite sex and the same sex respectively. EAG results also demonstrated that both two kinds of solvent extracts could induce the EAG responses of adult T. papillosa. Sixteen components were identified and isolated from the extracts of adult T. papillosa body surfaces by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), of which tridecane was the common component of females and males and had the highest relative amount. In addition to three kinds of straight-chain alkanes which were undecane, dodecane and tridecane, there were other components such as (Z)-2,2-dimethyl-3-hexene, 2-hexen-1-ol acetate, (E)-2-hexen-1-ol acetate, 2,3,3-trimethyl-1-butene and 1-tridecene and others.

“…These results are inconsistent with those reported by Roth et al . (), who found that females of the same species did not show a significant attraction to conspecifics. Several reasons might explain the differences between the two studies.…”

Can the pheromones of predators modulate responses to herbivore‐induced plant volatiles?

Biological control of greenhouse pests has been successfully developed and applied. In greenhouse crops, several entomophagous species (predators and parasitoids) are used simultaneously in the crop cycle. One important aspect of these crops, which represent modified ecosystems, is the interactions among complexes of species, including plants, phytophagous insects, and predators. The chemical relationships (semiochemicals: pheromones and kairomones) among these species likely play an important role in greenhouse crops; however, few studies have focused on these relationships. The aim of this study was to analyse the importance of semiochemicals. Three groups of laboratory trials were conducted with two predatory species: Nabis pseudoferus and Nesidiocoris tenuis (Hemiptera: Nabidae and Miridae, respectively). The results of the first group of trials indicated that the adult females of both species were more attracted to herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) than they were to the control plants or plants with artificial damage. Based on the second group of trials, pheromones triggered an attraction in adult females of both species for conspecifics. Finally, based on the interactions of the adult females of the same species, pheromones changed or modulated the predatory responses to HIPVs. The implications of these results for the biological control of pest species in greenhouses are further discussed. Role of pheromones and kairomones in predatory insectsT. Cabello et al.

“…Female sex pheromones that attract males have also been reported in many species of the sub-order Heteroptera, such as Nabis pseudoferus ibericus Remane (Nabidae), N. rugosus (L.) (Roth et al 2008), Lygus hesperus Knight (McLaughlin 1996), Phytocoris californicus Knight (Millar & Rice 1998) and P. relativus Knight (Miridae) (Millar et al 1997). In addition, field studies of species in this group such as Campylomma verbasci (Meyer-Dür) and Stenotus rubrovittatus (Matsumura) (Miridae) have shown that mating influences female-male attraction (Thistlewood et al 1989;Okutani-Akamatsu et al 2007).…”

Reduction in the attraction of males to females after mating in the rice leaf bug Trigonotylus caelestialium

The influence of mating on the extent to which males are attracted to females in Trigonotylus caelestialium (Heteroptera: Miridae) was examined. No differences in attraction of males to mated and virgin females were observed within 3–5 h of mating, but males became less attracted to females 1 to 2 days after the first mating. The difference in male attraction to mated vs virgin females disappeared at 4 days after mating. These results indicate that reduced attraction of males to mated females occurs after a certain time interval, and persists for a few days. Furthermore, males were less attracted to females that had mated with virgin vs recently mated males, i.e. males that had just mated with another female at 1 and 2 days after mating. The ejaculate expenditure of recently mated males was less than that of virgin males. Hence, the amount of male ejaculate transferred to females during mating, rather than the act of mating, might influence the attraction of males to females. The results demonstrate that mating reduces the attraction of males to females in T. caelestialium on the basis of direct observation of male behavior.
