Research paper thumbnail of Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis Gn., Lepidoptera: Crambidae): Attraction to a bisexual lure and comparison of performance with synthetic sex pheromone

Following success with the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis), a two-component blend bisexual lure (phenylacetaldehyde and 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol) of the host plant odor was tested in wind tunnel and field trapping experiments on the Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis) (ACB). To be able to compare the lure's performance with synthetic pheromone, a new route for the sex pheromone components (Z)-12-tetradecenyl acetate and (E)-12-tetradecenyl acetate was also developed, and the biological activity of the products was confirmed. The bisexual lure attracted both males and females of ACB in laboratory wind tunnel, and also in the field. Field trapping results indicated that traps with the bisexual lure attracted somewhat more ACB (both sexes) than pheromone baited traps, but this indication needs further confirmation. Traps baited with the bisexual lur...

Themain features of grooming behavior are amazingly similar among arthropods and land vertebrates and serve the same needs. A particular pattern of cleaning movements in cockroaches shows cephalo-caudal progression. Grooming sequences become longer after adaptation to the new setting. Novelty related changes in grooming are recognized as a form of displacement behavior. Statistical analysis of behavior revealed that antennal grooming in American cockroach, Periplaneta americana L., was significantly enhanced in the presence of odor. 1.

In addition, octopamine decreases the response to the general odorant, hexan-1-ol. The presence of a calling female, as well as octopamine treatment, eliminates the avoidance of hexanol by males. Electroantennogram responses to hexan-1-ol decreases after topical octopamine application.

Research paper thumbnail of Circadian rhythm of sex pheromone perception in the male American cockroach, Periplaneta americana L

Both the response level, the latency of response, and the dynamic range of doses evoking responses are under circadian control. Saturating doses, which were beyond the physiological range, elicited activity exhibiting a daily rhythm. The circadian system of pheromone perception includes components regulated by endogenous mechanisms, by daily changes in illumination and temperature, or by both of these factors.

The electrical activity of American cockroach chemoreceptor cells in response to sex pheromone was measured under the influence of octopamine treatment and tracheal anoxia. Both experimental procedures caused decreased electroantennograms but affected spike activity differently: octopamine treatment increased firing rate, whereas anoxia decreased it. Spike frequency under octopamine treatment was elevated in response to pheromone stimulation and at background activity. Experiments with perfusion of isolated antennae showed a direct effect of octopamine on spike activity of pheromone sensilla, and excluded the possibility of indirect effects via octopamine-dependent release of other biologically active substances. The suggested mechanism of octopamine action is receptor cell membrane depolarization.

The circadian rhythm of American cockroach response to sex pheromone was investigated in behavioral and electroantennographic tests. Obvious daily changes in behavioral responses of males to synthetic Periplanone B, one of the main components of the female sex pheromone, were not paralleled by concomitant electroantennogram fluctuations. These observations suggest that responses of pheromone receptor cells do not seem to be under circadian control, whilst the central nervous system modulates behavioral responses using circadian information. However. the significantly different amplitude of electroantennogram during only the first hour of experiment implies that peripheral modulation of sex pheromone perception possibly occurs in a stress situation. ÷﷿Œ‡‰Is ﷿UIs OOoO‚OO UÂ﷿OIOIIOO ŒOIIUIŒ‡ˆ ‡IÂ﷿Œ‡IaeŒOaO U‡﷿‡Œ‡I‡ ( Periplaneta americana L.)

Behavioral assays included measurements of dose–response relationship and testing the effect of the analogs on peri-planones perception. Among 9 analogs, 7 elicited typical sex behavior of males. According to the shape of behavioral dose–response curves, three analogs can be separated as PA-like and two as PB-like. The facilitating effect of PA and the adapting effect of PB were shown towards both main components of the pheromone. Three analogs can modify the sexual behavior of males in response to PA or PB. The electrophysiological study consisted of the analysis of six kinetics parameters of the electroantennogram. Dose–response relationships for these parameters were measured for each substance. When we compared doses of the substances that elicited the same amplitudes of the electro...

Research paper thumbnail of Changes In Electrophysiological Properties of Cat Hypoglossal Motoneurons During Carbachol-Induced Motor Inhibition

In the present work, we used intracellular recording techniques to determine changes in membrane properties in adult cats in which atonia was produced by the injection of carbachol into the pontine tegmentum (AS-carbachol). During AS-carbachol, 86% of the recorded hypoglossal motoneurons were found to be postsynaptically inhibited on the basis of analyses of their electrical properties; the electrical properties of the remaining 14% were similar to motoneurons recorded during control conditions. Those cells that exhibited changes in their electrical properties during AS-carbachol also displayed large-amplitude inhibitory synaptic potentials. Following sciatic nerve stimulation, hypoglossal motoneurons which responded with a depolarizing potential during control conditions exhibited a hyperpolarizing potential during AS-carbachol. Both spontaneous and evoked inhibitory potentials recorded during AS-carbachol were comparable to those that have been previously observed in trigeminal and spinal cord motoneurons under similar experimental conditions as well as during naturally occurring active sleep. Calculations based on modeling the changes that we found in input resistance and membrane time constant with a three-compartment neuron model suggest that shunts are present in all three compartments of the hypoglossal motoneuron model. Taken together, these data indicate that postsynaptic inhibitory drives are widely distributed on the soma-dendritic tree of hypoglossal motoneurons during AS-carbachol. These postsynaptic inhibitory actions are likely to be involved in the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea.

(Lepidoptera: Crambidae) has recently become very harmful to maize in the North of its range in Europe, primarily in Belarus. Conventional pheromone-trapping methods however show very low effectiveness. Our electrophysiological study did not reveal any impairment in peripheral sensitivity, but flight-tunnel responses were low. The reason for such discrepancy could lie in breeding of the Z race of moth coming with maize from south with local populations of the pest.
