Plant-mediated indirect effects of carpenterworms on the insect communities attracted to fermented tree sap

Carpenterworm (Lepidoptera, Cossidae) larvae bore into trunks of the oak Quercus acutissima, thereby promoting sap exudation, and prey on insects attracted to tree sap. We examined the interactions between carpenterworms and sap-attracted insects to elucidate community-level consequences of carpenterworms and to estimate the relative magnitudes of their direct and indirect effects on community structure. Species richness, total abundance, and Simpson’s index of diversity (1/D) in tree sap communities were all significantly higher in carpenterworm-associated patches (sap-exuding patches that contained either larvae or larval nests) than in patches without evidence of carpenterworms. Abundance was also significantly higher in carpenterworm-associated patches for 10 out of 14 taxonomic groups, and this difference was much greater in the following groups that are sensitive to resource increases: drosophilid flies (Drosophilidae), sap beetles (Nitidulidae), and rove beetles (Staphylinidae). These results indicate that carpenterworms increase community size indirectly by increasing resource abundance, which is supported by the results of structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM also revealed that the direct effect of carpenterworms on species richness was weaker than their indirect effect, suggesting that predation by carpenterworms does not determine community structure. Similarly, carpenterworms can increase the abundance of some taxa by increasing resource abundance, and the predation pressure from carpenterworms on most taxa may be minor.

Spider sex pheromones: emission, reception, structures, and functions

Spiders and their mating systems are useful study subjects with which to investigate questions of widespread interest about sexual selection, pre- and post-copulatory mate choice, sperm competition, mating strategies, and sexual conflict. Conclusions drawn from such studies are broadly applicable to a range of taxa, but rely on accurate understanding of spider sexual interactions. Extensive behavioural experimentation demonstrates the presence of sex pheromones in many spider species, and recent major advances in the identification of spider sex pheromones merit review. Synthesised here are the emission, transmission, structures, and functions of spider sex pheromones, with emphasis on the crucial and dynamic role of sex pheromones in female and male mating strategies generally. Techniques for behavioural, chemical and electrophysiological study are summarised, and I aim to provide guidelines for incorporating sex pheromones into future studies of spider mating. In the spiders, pheromones are generally emitted by females and received by males, but this pattern is not universal. Female spiders emit cuticular and/or silk-based sex pheromones, which can be airborne or received via contact with chemoreceptors on male pedipalps. Airborne pheromones primarily attract males or elicit male searching behaviour. Contact pheromones stimulate male courtship behaviour and provide specific information about the emitter's identity. Male spiders are generally choosy and are often most attracted to adult virgin females and juvenile females prior to their final moult. This suggests the first male to mate with a female has significant advantages, perhaps due to sperm priority patterns, or mated female disinterest. Both sexes may attempt to control female pheromone emission, and thus dictate the frequency and timing of female mating, reflecting the potentially different costs of female signalling and/or polyandry to both sexes. Spider sex pheromones are likely to be lipids or lipid soluble, may be closely related to primary metabolites, and are not necessarily species specific, although they can still assist with species recognition. Newer electrophysiological techniques coupled with chemical analyses assist with the identification of sex pheromone compounds. This provides opportunities for more targeted behavioural experimentation, perhaps with synthetic pheromones, and for theorising about the biosynthesis and evolution of chemical signals generally. Given the intriguing biology of spiders, and the critical role of chemical signals for spiders and many other animal taxa, a deeper understanding of spider sex pheromones should prove productive.

Mating disruption of the carpenter moth,Cossus insularis (Staudinger) (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) with synthetic sex pheromone in Japanese pear orchards

Mating disruption of the carpenter moth, Cossus insularis Staudinger (Lepidoptera: Cossidae), with a synthetic version of its sex pheromone, a mixture of (E)-3-tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)-3-tetradecenyl acetate, was tested for three successive years in Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia var. culta) orchards. Pheromone trap catches, percentage mating of tethered females, and tree damage were measured in both the pheromone-treated and untreated control orchards. The attraction of male adults to pheromone traps was completely disrupted, and the mating of the tethered females was completely inhibited by the treatment of synthetic pheromones. The percentage of damaged trees in the pheromone-treated orchard decreased over the course of the experiment, while the damage percentage did not decrease in the untreated orchard. These results show that mating disruption with the synthetic sex pheromone is promising for the reduction of damage caused by C. insularis in apple and Japanese pear orchards.

Effect of the mating plug on female chemical attractiveness and mating acceptance in a scorpion

After mating, females may experience a decline in sexual receptivity and attractiveness that may be associated with changes in the production and emission of sex pheromones. In some cases, these changes are produced by chemical substances or structures (e.g., mating plugs) produced by males as a strategy to avoid or reduce sperm competition. In scorpions, sex pheromones may be involved in finding potential mates and starting courtship. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the males of Urophonius brachycentrus, a species that produces a mating plug, use chemical communication (sex pheromones) to detect, localize, and discriminate females according to their mating status (virgin or inseminated), aided by chemical signaling. We also explored the effect of extracting of the mating plug on chemical communication and mating acceptance. We used Y‐maze olfactometers with different stimuli to analyze male choice and exploration time. To evaluate mating acceptance, we measured the attractiveness and receptivity of females of different mating status. We found that chemical communication occurs through volatile pheromones, but not contact pheromones. Males equally preferred sites with virgin or inseminated females with removed mating plug. In turn, females with these mating statuses were more attractive and receptive for males than inseminated females. This study suggests that the mating plug significantly affects female chemical attractiveness with an effect on volatile pheromones and decreasing sexual mating acceptance of females. The decline in the female's sexual receptivity is a complex process that may respond to several non‐exclusive mechanisms imposed by males and strategically modulated by females.
