| Abstract: | A procedure was developed for recording electroantennograms (EAG's) from pheromone-stimulated antennae of males of Trichoplusia ni. Experimental evidence indicated that the EAG was a true measure of male olfactory response. Antennae recovered from sensory adaptation to the sex pheromone within 30 to 60 sec after exposure. Variations in age, light intensity, and time of day did not affect antennal responsiveness to sex pheromone, although the same variables had an effect on the behavioural responsiveness of intact male moths. |
