“…This confirms our previous laboratory results, which showed that C. canaliculata is able to recognise its host, S. pratensis, using contact cues (Heisswolf et al, 2007). Still, it is no sufficient proof for host plant recognition from a distance.…”

“…In summary, this study shows that C. canaliculata is able to recognise its host plant, S. pratensis, from a distance, although a previous laboratory study gave no such indication (Heisswolf et al, 2007). Thus, the analysis of movement patterns in a seminatural arena seems to be a useful way of discovering behavioural responses to host plant cues that could not be detected with standard laboratory methods.…”

“…The host plant cues used in this process differ from species to species (Jones, 1991;Bernays & Chapman, 1994;Bruce et al, Ecological Entomology (2007) 32:194-200 2005. A recent study suggested that olfactory cues play only a minor role in host plant finding by the monophagous leaf beetle, C. canaliculata Laich., which is very well able to identify its host using contact cues (Heisswolf et al, 2007). This implies that the beetles are not able to locate their host plant from a distance.…”

“…(Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is able to recognise its host plant from a distance. Recent laboratory experiments suggested that it needs contact cues to identify its host, Salvia pratensis L. (Lamiales: Lamiaceae), whereas it showed only a very weak reaction to olfactory cues in a six-chamber olfactometer and on a locomotion compensator (Heisswolf et al, 2007).…”

Abstract. Host plant finding in walking herbivorous beetles is still poorly understood.Analysis of small-scale movement patterns under semi-natural conditions can be a useful tool to detect behavioural responses towards host plant cues.In this study, the small-scale movement behaviour of the monophagous leaf beetle Cassida canaliculata Laich. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was studied in a semi-natural arena (r = 1 m). In three different settings, a host (Salvia pratensis L., Lamiales: Lamiaceae), a non-host (Rumex conglomeratus Murr., Caryophyllales: Polygonaceae), or no plant was presented in the centre of the arena.The beetles showed no differences in the absolute movement variables, straightness and mean walking speed, between the three settings. However, the relative movement variables, mean distance to the centre and mean angular deviation from walking straight to the centre, were significantly smaller when a host plant was offered. Likewise, the angular deviation from walking straight to the centre tended to decline with decreasing distance from the centre. Finally, significantly more beetles were found on the host than on the non-host at the end of all the trials.It is concluded that C. canaliculata is able to recognise its host plant from a distance. Whether olfactory or visual cues (or a combination of both) are used to find the host plant remains to be elucidated by further studies.

Although K. africana was utilised by P. coerulea, S. campanulata was 16 preferred for both adult feeding and oviposition. Interestingly, whereas females were 17 attracted to olfactory cues emitted by S. campanulata, males demonstrated no such 18 olfactory discrimination. Females were also attracted to cues deposited by males, and 19 males were deterred by cues from other males, but neither sexes responded to female 20 olfactory cues. Very few eggs were recorded on K. africana and none of the larvae 21 that hatched on K. africana survived the first instar. Both S. campanulata and K. 22 africana are suitable for adult feeding, but persistent utilisation of K. africana in the 23 field is unlikely because larval development is only possible on S. campanulata and 24 because the adult females are strongly attracted to volatiles emitted by the target plant.

Chemical analysis of putative contact chemical cues for pollinators from pollen of two plant species, Ranunculus bulbosus (Ranunculaceae) and Campanula rapunculoides (Campanulaceae), showed high consistency in the qualitative and quantitative composition of pollenkitt surface lipids in all samples analyzed per species. The pollenkitt lipids of R. bulbosus included an aldehyde, fatty acid amides, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, and secondary alcohols; the lipids of C. rapunculoides consisted of an aldehyde, monoketones, and β-diketones. In marked contrast, the pollen headspace volatiles showed a wide qualitative and quantitative variability among all samples per species, whereby the variability was more pronounced in R. bulbosus. Hence, the highly species-specific pollenkitt lipids may provide pollinators with more reliable information on pollen identity.
