Title: EAG responses of Asian longhorn beetle Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) to volatiles of hickory
Abstract: To provide basic information for development of attractants and repellents of Anoplophora glabripennis, electroantennography (EAG) instrumentation was used to examine the EAG response of A. glabripennis adults to nine kinds of Carya cathayensis (hickory) volatiles, including: -pinene, -pinene, ocimene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,2-xylene, camphene, limonene, camphorand and so on, at five concentrations (10-1, 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, 10-5 molL-1). Significant differences (P<0.05) were present for the feeling strength of the antennae in relation to volatiles from female and male adults. For female adults -pinene elicited the highest EAG response(relative EAG values is about 17.4), for male adults EAG responses to limonene and ocimene were appresent(relative EAG values is about 13.4 and 7.3). In addition, EAG showed a response to different concentrations of volatile matter for tentacles, significantly different among different samples (P<0.05) by LSD method. This study will provide a theoretical foundation for research and development of attractants and repellents of A. glabripennis.[Ch, 2 tab. 19 ref.]
