| (s)-2-acetoxy-5-undecanone, female sex pheromone of the raspberry cane midge, resseliella theobaldi (barnes). | the raspberry cane midge, resseliella theobaldi, is a widespread pest of cultivated red raspberry in europe. pheromone-baited traps could provide a much-needed, accurate means to monitor the pest. volatiles collected separately from virgin female and male midges were analyzed by gas chromatography (gc) coupled to mass spectrometry (ms) to reveal four female-specific components. in analyses by gc coupled to electroantennographic (eag) recording from the antennae of a male midge, at least three of ... | 2009 | 19169750 |
| interrelationship between the raspberry cane midge, resseliella theobaldi (diptera: cecidomyiidae) and its parasitoid, aprostocetus epicharmus (hymenoptera: eulophidae). | the raspberry cane midge resseliella theobaldi (barnes) is one of the most important pests of cultivated red raspberry rubus idaeus l. throughout europe. for the last 50 years several studies have been made on the biology, life cycle and control of the pest. some data can also be found on its natural enemies, but among these species only the chalcidoid tetrastichus inunctus nees turned out to be important in controlling raspberry cane midge populations. however, this species name is now ambiguou ... | 2006 | 16923204 |
