Automatic moth detection from trap images for pest management (2016, background): “Monitoring is a crucial component in pheromone-based pest control [1, 2] systems.”
Insecticides Mode of Action in Relation to Their Toxicity to Non-Target Organisms (2012, background): “sex pheromones for females), being the most specific substances used in insect control [57] and probably the safest for non-target organisms (Table 1).”
An overview of the main pathways of metabolic resistance in insects (2016, background): “…of planting dates to limit exposure to pests, and use of cultivars that tolerate pest damage), mechanical controls (exclusion by barriers and trapping) and behaviour manipulation (use of artificial signalling like mating disruption, false trail following or mass trapping) (Witzgall et al., 2010).”
Semiochemicals for controlling insect pests (2019, methodology): “Host-plant volatiles provide one or more of four essential resources for the insect: feeding sites, mating sites, egg-laying sites, and/or refugia (Prokopy et al. 1984; Witzgall et al. 2010).”
Darcin: a male pheromone that stimulates female memory and sexual attraction to an individual male's odour (2010, background): “Ubiquitous among invertebrates, pheromones are used to coordinate many aspects of social behaviour, including sexual recognition and attraction to bring opposite sex conspecifics together for mating [ 3 ].”
Vespa velutina: a new invasive predator of honeybees in Europe (2013, background): “Another possibility for exploitation of the Allee effect is mating disruption (i.e. altering the communication between males and females during reproduction to prevent them from finding mate; Cardé and Minks 1995; Witzgall et al. 2010) by use of sex pheromones.”
Biological invasion of European tomato crops by Tuta absoluta: ecology, geographic expansion and prospects for biological control (2010, background): “Mass trapping may also effectively remove sufficient males to lower overall T. absoluta population levels and reduce pest pressure (Witzgall et al. 2008, 2010).”
