Research over the past two decades has begun to fill this gap, with: (1) the discovery of sex attractants for a number of pest and non-pest species, and (2) subsequent studies toward development of semiochemically-based pest management approaches and conservation initiatives for pests and non-pests, respectively. We used chemical, electrophysiological, and behavioral studies to identify, synthesize, and field test female-produced sex attractant pheromones of two North American elaterid species, Melanotus piceatus and M. insipiens. We identified two possible pheromone components for each species using coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses of extracts of ovipositors of females: (2Z,6E)-farnesyl acetate and (2E,6E)-farnesyl acetate for M. piceatus, and decyl octanoate and decyl butanoate for M. insipiens. Subsequent coupled gas chromatography-electroantennogram detection analyses indicated that antennae of males were responsive to only one of the two compounds for each species: (2Z,6E)-farnesyl acetate for M. piceatus, and decyl butanoate for M. insipiens. In field trials, (2Z,6E)-farnesyl acetate and decyl butanoate as single components attracted males of M. piceatus and M. insipiens, respectively. In both species, most male beetle flight activity occurred from May through June. Identification of the sex pheromones of these species will provide useful tools to study their biology, while further expanding our knowledge of the types of compounds to be expected in the sex pheromones of related species.</p>","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":"52 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12971855/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147390142","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}

These broadly defined damage-induced plant volatiles (DIPVs), include herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). DIPVs elicit defence-related responses in neighbouring plants, which may influence herbivore behaviour. Although DIPVs have been studied in conifers, little is known about how they influence neighbouring plants and shape subsequent interactions with herbivores. We tested whether DIPVs released by damaged Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings alter the susceptibility of undamaged receivers to feeding by the large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis). A two-stage experiment examined the effects of exposure to VOCs from mechanically damaged, pine weevil-damaged, sawfly-damaged, and undamaged seedlings on neighbouring receivers. In the first stage, receivers were exposed to VOCs for seven days. VOC emissions from receivers were collected and analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Analyses revealed treatment-specific volatile profiles. In the second stage, weevil orientation was tested, and receiver susceptibility evaluated by quantifying bark damage area using digital photograph analysis and classification of feeding-damage type as superficial or deep. Weevils first oriented towards the control receivers most frequently before being found in greater numbers on receivers exposed to DIPVs from mechanically damaged and weevil-damaged neighbours. Towards the end of the experiment, they were found on receivers exposed to sawfly-induced DIPVs. The control group had more deep damage than superficial damage, whereas all DIPV exposure groups had more superficial than deep feeding spots, suggesting that prior VOC exposure may result in surface-level feeding. These findings show that DIPVs can trigger changes in receivers that influence pine weevil orientation and feeding behaviour.</p>","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":"52 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12923392/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146258247","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}
