Field Attraction of Carob Moth to Host Plants and Conspecific Females

JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 110(5), 2076–2083.

By: S. Hosseini*, S. Goldansaz *, S. Menken*, M. Wijk n, P. Roessingh * & A. Groot n

author keywords: Attractants; fruit bait; plant volatile-pheromone interaction; monitoring; moth
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal / drug effects; Female; Fruit; Insect Control; Lythraceae; Male; Moths / drug effects; Pistacia; Volatile Organic Compounds / pharmacology
TL;DR: Results show that volatiles from cracked pomegranates alone or in combination with female sex pheromone have great potential for application in pest management programs of carob moth. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 journal article

Proximity of signallers can maintain sexual signal variation under stabilizing selection

Scientific Reports, 7(1).

By: M. van Wijk n, J. Heath n, R. Lievers*, C. Schal n  & A. Groot*

MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Female; Male; Mating Preference, Animal / physiology; Moths; Sex Attractants / physiology; Sexual Behavior, Animal / physiology
TL;DR: This work proposes and test a “proximity model” wherein two females that vary in their relative attractiveness to males, can both benefit from calling in close proximity to each other, and proposes that frequency-dependent behavioural and spatial interactions can sustain signal variation within populations even when these signals are under stabilizing selection.

2016 journal article

Experimental evidence for chemical mate guarding in a moth

Scientific Reports, 6(1).

By: S. Hosseini*, M. van Wijk*, G. Ke *, S. Goldansaz *, C. Schal n  & A. Groot n

MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Fertility; Male; Mating Preference, Animal; Moths; Pheromones; Sex Attractants; Sexual Behavior, Animal
TL;DR: This work tested the hypothesis that the male sex pheromone in the noctuid moth Heliothis virescens perfumes the female and functions as an anti-aphrodisiac, and found that virgin females perfumed with male phermone extract mated significantly less than control virgin females, and this effect persisted for two successive nights.
