| sex attractant pheromone of the red-shouldered stink bug thyanta pallidovirens: a pheromone blend with multiple redundant components. | the male-produced sex pheromone of the red-shouldered stink bug, thyanta pallidovirens (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae) consists of a blend of methyl (e2,z4,z6)-decatrienoate (e2,z4,z6-10:coome), and the sesquiterpenes (+)-alpha-curcumene, (-)-zingiberene, and (-)-beta-sesquiphellandrene. in laboratory bioassays, sexually mature males attracted sexually mature females but not males, and females did not attract either sex. extracts of volatiles collected from sexually mature males contained compo ... | 2002 | 12449507 |
| chemical and physical signals mediating conspecific and heterospecific aggregation behavior of first instar stink bugs. | we investigated cues that mediate the aggregation behavior of immature pentatomid bugs by using nymphs of six different pentatomid bug species (nezara viridula, acrosternum hilare, chlorochroa ligata, chlorochroa sayi, thyanta pallidovirens, and euschistus conspersus). when first instars of any two species were put together in a petri dish, they readily formed heterospecific aggregations similar to their natural conspecific aggregations. the chemical profiles of first and second instar nymphs of ... | 2004 | 15303327 |
| assessing genetic diversity in four stink bug species, chinavia hilaris, chlorochroa uhleri, chlorochroa sayi, and thyanta pallidovirens (hemiptera: pentatomidae), using dna barcodes. | stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae) are an economically important group of insects that attack numerous crops in the central valley of california. management of these pests using pheromones or biological control can be species specific, and proper identification of insect species is essential for effective management. the objective was to examine genetic variability in four species of stink bugs, which included chinavia hilaris (say) (= acrosternum hilare) (hemiptera: pentatomidae) , chlorochro ... | 2017 | 29069485 |
