“…(Ð)-Ipsdienol did not perform anywhere near the level of (Ϯ)-ipsdienol. Our results are consistent with those of Kohnle et al (1994), Birgersson et al (1995), Strom et al (2003), and Miller et al (2005). There may be no need to use costly ipsdienol lures with high optical purity in a monitoring or detection program for I. avulsus.…”

“…In addition to potential differences in enantiomeric ratios of shared components, the southern Ips species have qualitative blend differences in pheromone blends. I. calligraphus uses ipsdienol and cis-verbenol, I. avulsus uses ipsdienol and lanierone, and I. grandicollis uses ipsenol alone Vité et al 1972Vité et al , 1976Birgersson et al 1995, Miller et al 2003, 2005.…”

“…Spot infestations of trees killed by Ips engravers can occur in association with logging debris, drought, lightning strikes, and compacted soils, but they are generally short-lived. Ipsdienol (2-methyl-6-methylene-2,7-octadien-4-ol) and lanierone (2-hydroxy-4,4,6-trimethyl-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one) are pheromones produced by I. avulsus , Birgersson et al 1995. Ipsdienol is attractive to both sexes of I. avulsus Vité 1972, Miller et al 2005), with lanierone synergizing attraction to ipsdienol-baited traps (Birgersson et al 1995, Miller et al 2003, 2005.…”

“…Preliminary trials were conducted to determine the attractiveness of the full synthetic blend dissolved in heptane (Merck, Darmstadt, DE), with release rates between 3 to 100 ng min −1 of α-pinene within the blend with four replications to identify the optimum release rate for the test system. The blend was released by diffusion from a wick dispenser made out of a 2 ml glass vial with a pin hole in the centre of the cap through which a cotton wick encased in Teflon protruded into the air46. The wick dispenser allows for the release of all compounds in constant proportions throughout the experiment.…”

Mosquito oviposition site selection is essential for vector population dynamics and malaria epidemiology. Irrigated rice cultivations provide ideal larval habitats for malaria mosquitoes, which has resulted in increased prevalence of the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis, in sub-Saharan Africa. The nature and origin of the cues regulating this behaviour are only now being elucidated. We show that gravid Anopheles arabiensis are attracted and oviposit in response to the odour present in the air surrounding rice. Furthermore, we identify a synthetic rice odour blend, using electrophysiological and chemical analyses, which elicits attraction and oviposition in laboratory assays, as well as attraction of free-flying gravid mosquitoes under semi-field conditions. This research highlights the intimate link between malaria vectors and agriculture. The identified volatile cues provide important substrates for the development of novel and cost-effective control measures that target female malaria mosquitoes, irrespective of indoor or outdoor feeding and resting patterns.

“…Several studies have attempted to identify speciÞc mechanisms of mate location among the southern Ips by using synthetic copies of pheromones (Vité and Renwick 1971;Renwick and Vité 1972;Hedden et al 1976;Vité et al 1976Vité et al , 1978Birgersson et al 1995;Strom et al 2003;Miller et al 2005). In general, these studies reported that the most attractive blend for the southern Ips involves one or more of ipsenol, ipsdienol, or cis-verbenol.…”

Role of Ipsdienol, Ipsenol, and cis-Verbenol in Chemical Ecology of Ips avulsus, Ips calligraphus, and Ips grandicollis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)

Stressed or damaged pine (Pinus sp.) trees in the southeastern United States are often colonized simultaneously by three southern Ips species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae): small southern pine engraver, Ips avulsus (Eichhoff); sixspined ips, Ips calligraphus (Germar); and eastern Þvespined ips, Ips grandicollis (Eichhoff). All three species mediate colonization of host material with volatile pheromones. All of the southern Ips produce cis-verbenol, and either ipsdienol or ipsenol, and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that all three southern Ips are able to detect all three compounds. This study examined the role of ipsdienol, ipsenol, and cis-verbenol in the chemical ecology of the southern Ips in Georgia and Louisiana. The most attractive blends of pheromones, with the fewest number of components, were ipsdienol plus ipsenol for I. avulsus, cis-verbenol plus ipsdienol for I. calligraphus, and either cis-verbenol plus ipsenol or ipsdienol plus ipsenol for I. grandicollis. Cross-attraction of I. grandicollis to the pheromone blend most attractive to I. avulsus was observed. Although the presence of heterospeciÞc pheromone reduced the catches of all three species (i.e., the tertiary blend captured fewer beetles than the most attractive binary blends) in both states (signiÞcantly in two cases), high numbers of all three species were still captured in traps baited with all three compounds. These results suggest that the pheromones cis-verbenol, ipsdienol, and ipsenol can be combined for monitoring all three species of the southern Ips simultaneously. KEY WORDS Ips, aggregation pheromone, reproductive isolation, ScolytidaeEngraver beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae: Ips DeGeer) spend most of their lives under bark in the trunk and larger branches of dead, dying, downed, or stressed pines (Pinus spp.) where adults mate and larvae feed and develop on phloem tissue (Furniss and Carolin 1977). Males are the pioneer sex and tunnel into the phloem, excavate a nuptial chamber, and release an aggregation pheromone to attract conspeciÞcs. This pheromone-mediated mass attack behavior facilitates the rapid location and exploitation of available host material and the successful colonization of living pines.
