In laboratory and greenhouse experiments, we tested the hypotheses that (1) CO₂ and CH₄ interactively attract stable flies, (2) CO₂ 'gates' attraction of stable flies to CH₄, and (3) breath volatiles on their own, or in combination with both CO₂ and CH₄, attract stable flies. In Y-tube olfactometer experiments, the blend of CH₄ (0.5%) and CO₂ (1%) in breathing air ('b-air') attracted significantly more female flies than CH₄, or CO₂, in b-air. The flies' responses to CH₄ were contingent upon their prior or concurrent exposure to CO₂. In two-choice experiments in a large greenhouse compartment, significantly more flies landed on the host-look-alike barrel that disseminated a blend of CO₂ and CH₄ in b-air (CO₂/CH₄/b-air) than on the barrel disseminating either b-air or CO₂. Moreover, significantly more flies landed on the barrel that disseminated synthetic breath volatiles (SBVs) than on the barrel disseminating b-air. The blend of CO₂/CH₄/b-air and SBVs elicited more fly landings on barrels than CO₂/CH₄/b-air but not than SBVs.

Among the hundreds of distinct cardenolide toxins produced by milkweeds (Asclepias spp.), few contain N, yet these appear to be the most toxic against specialist herbivores. Because N- and non-N-cardenolides coexist in milkweed leaves and likely have distinct biosynthesis, they present an opportunity to address hypotheses about drivers of toxin expression. We tested effects of soil N and herbivore-damage on cardenolide profiles of two milkweed species differing in life-history strategies (Asclepias syriaca and A. curassavica), and the toxicity of their leaves. In particular leaf extracts were tested against the target enzymes (Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase extracted from neural tissue) from both monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) as well as less cardenolide-resistant queen butterflies, D. gilippus. Increasing soil N enhanced biomass of Asclepias syriaca but had weak effects on cardenolides, including causing a significant reduction in the N-cardenolide labriformin; feeding by monarch caterpillars strongly induced N-cardenolides (labriformin), its precursors, and total cardenolides. Conversely, soil N had little impact on A. curassavica biomass, but was the primary driver of increasing N-cardenolides (voruscharin, uscharin and their precursors); caterpillar induction was weak. Butterfly enzyme assays revealed damage-induced cardenolides substantially increased toxicity of both milkweeds to both butterflies, swamping out effects of soil N on cardenolide concentration and composition. Although these two milkweed species differentially responded to soil N with allocation to growth and specific cardenolides, leaf toxicity to butterfly Na⁺/K⁺-ATPases was primarily driven by herbivore-induced defense. Thus, both biotic and abiotic factors shape the composition of phytochemical defense expression, and their relative importance may be dictated by plant life-history differences.</p>","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":" ","pages":"725-737"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142522035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little is known about how feeding by N. tenuis can influence the tritrophic interactions in the tomato plant. Here, we tested the hypothesis that N. tenuis phytophagy would influence the tritrophic olfactory interactions between the host plant tomato and pest, predator, and parasitoid. In olfactometer assays, P. absoluta females and N. tenuis adults were both attracted to constitutive volatiles released by the tomato plant. Whereas females of P. absoluta avoided volatiles released by N. tenuis-infested plants, S. japonicus females and N. tenuis adults were attracted to the induced volatiles. In coupled gas chromatography-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) recordings of intact and N. tenuis-infested plant volatiles, antennae of P. absoluta and S. japonicus females both detected eight components, whereas N. tenuis adults detected seven components which were identified by GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) as terpenes and green leaf volatiles (GLVs). Dose-response olfactometer bioassays revealed that the responses of P. absoluta, N. tenuis, and S. japonicus varied with the composition and concentration of blends and individual compounds tested from N tenuis-induced volatiles. Females of P. absoluta showed no preference for an eight-component blend formulated from the individual repellents including hexanal, (Z)-3-hexenyl butanoate, and δ-elemene identified in the volatiles. On the other hand, S. japonicus females were attracted to an eight-component blend including the attractants (E)-2-hexenal, (Z)-3-hexenol, methyl salicylate, β-phellandrene, and (E)-caryophyllene. Likewise, N. tenuis adults were attracted to a seven-component blend including the attractants β-phellandrene, δ-elemene, and (E)-caryophyllene identified in the volatiles.

So far, knowledge about the roles of volatile versus stable chemical cues in informing predation risk is limited. We here seek to disentangle the role of ephemeral trail pheromones compared to persistent cuticular hydrocarbons of ants (predators) on the antipredator behaviour of juvenile spiders (prey), with the expectation that volatile semiochemicals induce avoidance behaviour in spiders at a higher rate compared to stable cues. We allowed the spiders to choose between sites with and without ant cues separately for volatile trail pheromones and stable hydrocarbons. Unexpectedly, spiders avoided the presence of persistent cuticular hydrocarbons more clearly than the highly volatile trail pheromone. This underscores the widespread impact of these stable cues on the avoidance behaviour of potential intraguild prey. The response to trail pheromones was unclear, possibly because spiders always encounter these cues simultaneously with visual and vibratory cues from ants; hence, trail pheromones may not contain any additional information, hindering the evolution of the ability to detect them.</p>","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":" ","pages":"714-724"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11543770/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142288131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like cranberries, S. sulfureana and C. parallela are native to the United Sates, while L. dispar is an invasive pest. We measured the survival and growth of larvae on each genotype, as well as variation in plant performance (height and biomass) and leaf defensive chemical traits (C/N ratio, total phenolics, total proanthocyanidins, and flavonols levels) in these genotypes to elucidate potential resistance mechanisms. We found differences in C. parallela and L. dispar larval performance across genotypes, with larvae performing better on the modern hybrid genotypes, while S. sulfureana showed no differences. Morphological and chemical traits varied among genotypes, with total phenolics being the only trait correlated with C. parallela and L. dispar larval performance. Notably, the wild genotypes 'McFarlin' and 'Potter' had higher total phenolics and were more resistant to both herbivores than the modern hybrids 'Demoranville' and 'Mullica Queen.'

We determined geographic variation in the responses of S. frugiperda males to four different doses of synthetic sex pheromone compounds using a gas chromatography-electroantennogram detector (GC-EAD). Furthermore, we disentangled regional populations into C- and R- mitotypes via molecular analysis of the cytochrome oxidase I gene, and measured their responses to the compounds.

However, we found no differences in male responses between the different African countries. All males showed significantly higher antennal responses to Z7-12:OAc than to E7-12:OAc. When comparing the mitotypes, we found that Florida R-type males showed higher responses to Z9-14:OAc, Z7-12:OAc and Z9-12:OAc than Benin R-type males, while C-type males from both regions responded equally to Z7-12:OAc.
