The current level of understanding of orientation mechanisms used by flying insects responding to pheromone sources, based almost entirely on studies of moths and flies, allows clear predictions to be made of how other, hitherto little-studied insect

Flying male woodworm, Anobium punctatum, are able to locate a source of female pheromone offered as a point source but land more quickly if the same odour source is presented on a model ‘tree’ (cylinder). We tested the response to a two-dimension

Higher flight activity has been observed in aged, high-density cultures ofProstephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), but adults in new, lowdensity culture jars showed less flight activity. In order to understand this change in behavior

Abstract. Deathwatch beetles produce taps, by drumming the head on the substrate, which enable males to locate females. The orientation mechanism used by males was examined experimentally using a mechanical tapper to simulate female replies. When sea

Taps were recorded from 46 male and 30 female deathwatch beetles, Xestobium rufovillosum.Beetles tap by striking the frons of the head on the substrate 4–11 times, at a frequency of about 11 Hz. There were no significant differences between the sex

Male X. rufovillosumdonate on average 13.5% of their body weight to the female during copulation. The weight transferred is significantly greater in heavier males and declines in subsequent matings. When virgin females are offered a choice of several

Olfactory-mediated behavioral interactions were investigated among the five scolytid species comprising the southern pine bark beetle group. Behavioral response, as determined from field trap catch data, showed that each species was attracted in grea
