“…There are other examples where exposure to the femaleproduced pheromone did not affect oviposition rates, eg. G. molesta females and C. pomonella (Weissling & Knight, 1996). However, application of the female-produced codling moth sex pheromone, (E,E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-ol, to wax paper ovipositional substrates also reduced oviposition rates in the tortricid C. pomonella (Weissling & Knight, 1996); a result that is consistent with the current study.…”

“…"Autodetection" Ochieng et al, 1995), known as antennal sensitivity of female moths to their sex pheromone components, is considered to be less common among moth species in general than female anosmia to their sex pheromone. However, among tortricids, in those instances where female moths have been investigated, they are capable of detecting their pheromone (Palanaswamy & Seabrook, 1978Noguchi & Tamaki 1985;Barnes et al, 1992;Weissling & Knight, 1996;DeLury et al, 2005;Gökçe et al, 2006;Stelinski et al, 2006). To our knowledge, there are no published reports describing female anosmia to their sex pheromone in a tortricid species.…”

“…However, there are several cases in which exposure to pheromone has been shown to either advance the onset of calling and/or increase the total proportion of calling females in tortricid moths [eg., Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens) (Palanaswamy & Seabrook, 1985;and Grapholita molesta (Busck) ]. Also, in the tortricid female, Cydia pomonella (L.), exposure to pheromone increases the incidence of calling behavior, but does not advance its onset (Weissling & Knight, 1996). Finally there are examples where pheromone exposure has no effect on time of onset, frequency, and duration of calling, including the tortricids Pandemis limitata (Robinson) , Eupoecillia ambiguella (Hübner), Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller), and the noctuid Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval) (El-Sayed & Suckling, 2005).…”

“…In addition to tortricid moths, noctuid (Mitchell et al, 1972;Birch, 1977;Light & Birch, 1979;Ljungberg et al, 1993;Groot et al, 2005), yponomeutid (van der Pers & den Otter, 1978), and arctiid (Schneider et al, 1998) females are reported to be capable of detecting their sex pheromone. Furthermore, exposure to pheromone is known to either advance or delay the onset of calling periodicity and/or increase the total proportion of calling female moths (Palanaswamy & Seabrook, 1978Noguchi & Tamaki, 1985;Weissling & Knight, 1996;.…”

Abstract. Studies were conducted investigating the responses of female obliquebanded leafrollers, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) and redbanded leafrollers, Argyrotaenia velutinana (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), to components of their sex pheromone. Electroantennogram (EAG) recordings revealed significant responses from antennae of female moths of both species to the major pheromone component, (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate, at dosages ranging from 2 µg -2 mg. However, tested individually, the minor pheromone components of the obliquebanded leafroller, (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)-11-tetradecenol, elicited little or no antennal response from conspecific females. This result was consistent for redbanded leafroller females, which showed only weak responses to the minor component (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate at a 2 mg dosage. For both species, species-specific blend ratios of the Z and E isomers of tetradecenyl acetate did not elicit a greater antennal response than the Z isomer alone. Virgin females of each species (2-4 d old) were placed into 1-liter plastic assay chambers with constant throughput of carbon-filtered air passed through 1-liter flasks containing rubber septa loaded with (Z)-and (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetates and (Z)-11-tetradecenol for trials with female obliquebanded leafrollers or with (Z)-and (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetates and dodecyl acetate for trials with female redbanded leafrollers. Exposure to pheromone-permeated air delayed the onset of calling by 1 h and terminated the calling period 1 h earlier for both species compared with solvent-control exposed females. Furthermore, the total proportion of calling females was reduced by half in chambers receiving constant throughput of pheromone-permeated air compared with solvent controls. Exposure to pheromonepermeated air also significantly reduced egg-laying in both species compared with clean-air controls. Furthermore, application of the major pheromone component, (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate, at dosages ranging from 2 µg-2 mg to wax-paper ovipositional substrates, deterred oviposition by females of both species. Our data suggest that application of synthetic sex-attractant pheromones for mating disruption of leafroller species may have deleterious effects on female moth behavior, which may contribute to pest control. Field investigations will need to be conducted to test this hypothesis. 187* Corresponding author; current address:

“…In some insects such as Adoxophyes orana (Fisher von Rosslerstrm) and Homona magnanima (Diakonoff), the calling behaviour was delayed when females were exposed to pheromone 35 . But in some other insects, calling behaviour was advanced or the proportion of females showing calling behaviour increased on exposure to pheromone as observed in C. fumifrana and G. molesta (Busck) 36 . There were also instances when no changes were noticed in the behaviour, as in the case of S. littoralis 37 .…”

Autodetection in <i>Helicoverpa armigera</i> (Hubner)

et al. 2016

Autodetection is an olfactory behavioural process where the females of some species respond to their own pheromonal blends. Through electroantennogram studies it has been proved that the gravid females of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) respond to their pheromone blend consisting of Z-11-hexadecenal and Z-9-hexadecenal in the ratio 97 : 3. Male antennae respond more strongly than virgin female antennae. However, antennae of gravid females elicit strong response than unmated males. Also, males showed strong responses in cross-wind flying in wind tunnel experiments, when sex pheromone blends were used. Virgin females and gravid females showed poor response in wind-tunnel studies. The ovipositional experiment where gravid females were allowed to oviposit in the presence and absence of pheromone odours indicated that there was no difference in the number of eggs laid. Through morphological studies, it has been proved that the females also possess sensilla trichoidea, destined to perceive the pheromone blends, though lesser in number than the males. These results support the hypothesis that autodetection of sex pheromones exists in females of H. armigera and is thought to function as a mechanism to induce dispersal under high population densities.
