NAL call number: 420 En82
Abstract: Ontogenetic timing of photoperiodic sensitivity is critical in the life history of insects that rely on photoperiod as a token stimulus. The life stages of Orius insidiosus (Say) sensitive to photoperiod for diapause induction were investigated by transferring predators between short (10:14 [L:D] h) and long (14:10[L:D]h) constant photoperiods (at 20 degrees C) at various life stages. Bugs were considered to be in diapause if their preoviposition period exceeded 14 d after adult eclosion. The first three instars exhibited no clear sensitivity to photoperiod relative to diapause induction or intensity (as measured by preoviposition period). The fourth instar was somewhat sensitive, appearing to enhance the sensitivity of subsequent stages. In contrast, the fifth instar was highly sensitive to the short photoperiod. Exposure of bugs to short photoperiods during this instar induced diapause in at least 50% of the population. Likewise, the adult stage was sensitive to photoperiod during at least the first 14 d after eclosion. Exposure to short photoperiods during the early adult stage also appears to be necessary to induce diapause in approximately 50% of the population. In addition, short photoperiod served to maintain diapause in adult females. Transferring diapausing adults from short to long photoperiods accelerated diapause termination relative to those remaining in short photoperiod.

NAL call number: QD415.A1J6
Abstract: Pristhesancus plagipennis, a large Australian assassin bug, possesses three pairs of dorsal abdominal glands (DAGs). In the male, the anterior and posterior glands are hypertrophied and secrete an attractant pheromone. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses of male DAG extracts and airborne volatiles emitted from calling males showed the pheromone signature to be dominated by a novel component. Subsequent chemical manipulations, GC-MS, and chiral-column analyses established its identity as (Z)-3-hexenyl (R)-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyrate. Minor components included 3-methylbutanol, 2-phenylethanol, (Z)-3-hexenol, decanal, (E)-2-hexenoic acid, and three minor hexenyl esters. Bioactivity studies using laboratory olfactometers and outdoor flight cages demonstrated attraction by female P. plagipennis to calling males, heptane extracts of male posterior DAGs and a synthetic formulation of the (Z)R enantiomer of the major ester, alone or in combination with other components of male anterior and posterior DAGs. Males were also attracted to the major ester. The racemate and S enantiomer of the ester were not attractive. Contamination of the (Z)R enantiomer with 30-60% of the E isomer also made the compound nonattractive. This is the first report of an aggregation pheromone in the Reduviidae. The prospects for pheromonal manipulation of P. plagipennis populations to enhance the value of this predator in horticultural ecosystems, are discussed.
