Assessing Host-Plant Finding by Insects

  • Chapter
Insect-Plant Interactions

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Experimental Entomology ((SSEXP))

Abstract

It is now more than 30 years since Dethier (1947) remarked that “no one attractant alone performs the service of guiding an insect to its proper host-plant, food or mate, and that the desired end is achieved only by a complex array of stimuli, such as chemical, light, temperature and humidity, acting in harmony.” Even so, it is doubtful whether the full complexity of the stimuli involved has yet been envisaged. Thus, just as sex pheromones are sometimes mixtures of olfactory stimuli, whose relative proportions can vary in space, time, and from population to population, the same is also true of the visual and olfactory stimuli used by insects in host-plant finding (Finch, 1977, 1980; Miller and Strickler, 1984; Miller and Harris, 1985).
