This is the first fully verified report of an aggregation pheromone produced by a cerambycid
beetle species. Field bioassays with adultNeoclytus acuminatus acuminatus (F.) (Coleoptera…

Insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) consist of complex mixtures of straight-chain alkanes
and alkenes, and methyl-branched hydrocarbons. In addition to restricting water loss through …

Adult male and female rustic borers, Xylotrechus colonus F. (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae),
aggregate on cut logs and fallen trees that are the hosts of their larvae. Our studies show that …

Stressed woody plants represent an ephemeral and unpredictable resource for larvae of
some species of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) because prime subcortical …

Male Megacyllene caryae (Gahan) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) respond to females only
after touching them with their antennae, indicating that mate recognition is mediated by a …

Cuticular hydrocarbons of insects often consist of complex mixtures of straight chain,
unsaturated and methyl-branched components with 21 to 40+ carbons. They function to restrict …

(E)‐6,10‐dimethyl‐5,9‐undecadien‐2‐ol (fuscumol) is an important component of male‐produced
aggregation pheromones for several species of cerambycid beetles in the genus …

We conducted field experiments to test the hypothesis that regulation of herbivorous pests in
urban landscapes can be enhanced with forbs that provide floral resources for adult natural …

We tested the hypothesis that contact phermones mediate mate recognition for four species
of longhorned beetles, Neoclytus mucronatus mucronatus (F.), Megacyllene caryae (Gahan), …

Male locust borers, Megacyllene robiniae (Förster), responded to females only after contacting
them with their antennae, indicating that mate recognition was mediated by a contact sex …
