Respuesta antenal de hembras vírgenes y copuladas de Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) a sus extractos glandulares
Keywords:
Electroantennography, self-detection; females; sex pheromoneAbstract
In this study, we report on the antennal detection of virgin and mated S. frugiperda females to their sex pheromone in laboratory electroantennography (EAG) bioassays. In EAG bioassays, the antennae of both virgin and mated females were observed to detect the conspecific sex pheromone. We demonstrate that virgin S. frugiperda females have a significantly greater response than mated females to glandular extracts and that reproductive status can affect female responses but does not limit their ability to autodetect sex pheromone.
