Flight Performance of Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) on a Flight Mill and in Free Flight (2010, background): “Although males in the wild have been observed to mount females with alacrity and persistence (Lelito et al. 2007), there was no immediate response of males to females amongst the EAB in the lab.”
Differential response of male and female emerald ash borers (Col., Buprestidae) to (Z)‐3‐hexenol and manuka oil (2010, background): “Good progress has been made in designing effective traps based on shape, visual cues and trap placement (Francese et al. 2005, 2008a,b; Lelito et al. 2007, 2008).”
Emerald ash borer invasion of North America: history, biology, ecology, impacts, and management. (2014, background): “Rather, mating is facilitated by host selection in which males seek and locate females using visual (52) and olfactory cues (52, 82) and contact pheromones (51, 94).”
