|
| When the moths are about to mate, pheromone laced dispensers are placed in the orchard, permeating the air with the scent of female fruit moth. |
|
| While the pheromone trail helps the male to decide if a female should be wooed, it provides no clues as to which of her two orifices are free. |
|
| A pheromone is a chemical that elicits a specific behavioural response at a distance. |
|
| Biofix is determined to be set when five moths are caught in 3 pheromone traps within the orchard. |
|
| It is composed of a black container, a kairomone diffuser, an aggregation pheromone diffuser and fixing clips. |
|
| It can be purchased and should be released about 1 week after the first capture of an adult moth in a pheromone trap. |
|
| By merging with Phero Tech International, Contech was able to add an insect eradication division developing products based on pheromone studies. |
|
| The males are ready to mate, but can't locate the females in the saturated cloud of pheromone. |
|
| Phero Tech manufactures and markets QMP, a complex pheromone mixture from the queen honeybee mandibular gland. |
|
| More pheromone traps have been placed around each province to catch the bertha adult moths. |
|
| Mass pheromone trapping is a non-viable alternative for eradiction because of the fact that it is not a legal option in Canada. |
|
| As expected given low levels of wild codling moths, release of sterile males, and treatment with pheromone, there was no detectable codling moth damage in any orchard. |
|
| Thus, downwind males could be located higher in the vegetation to increase their chances of intercepting a pheromone plume and locating a receptive female. |
|
| The Alpha Project will focus exclusively on the pheromone signal pathway in baker's yeast, whose cells' signal-transduction system is quite similar to ours. |
|
| A simpler system can now be proposed in the light of wind-tunnel experiments on male summer fruit tortrix moths entering homogeneous pheromone clouds. |
|
|
|
| Mammals also use pheromone musks to mark out their territories and routes. |
|
| The third study used gibberellin as an assay for a gender influencing pheromone. |
|
| Furthermore, collaborative research agreements have been established with Canadian universities and firms for the development and commercialization of bio-herbicides and pheromone based products. |
|
| Jobs for the week Easy2 Hang pheromone traps in apple trees to attract and catch male apple-worm producing codling moths. |
|
| Nontarget noctuids complicate integrated pest management monitoring of sweet corn with pheromone traps in Massachusetts. |
|
| Previous research into suckling has shown that European rabbit mothers use a pheromone to initiate suckling in their newborn babies. |
|
| As an indication of the attracting power of light traps with respect to tomato pinworms, a light trap was compared with a pheromone trap equipped with a fresh lure for male tomato pinworms, in a commercial house. |
|
| Management strategies to stem and curtail the infestation include aerial and ground detection, pheromone baiting to attract the beetles, felling and burning of infested trees, and a variety of harvesting techniques. |
|
| After extensive studies, scientists discovered that the ruffe can be repelled by their own alarm pheromone. |
|
| When injured, a ruffe will release this pheromone into the water to warn other ruffe to stay away. |
|
| High concentrations of synthetic pheromone appear to superstimulate E. flava males causing more of them to be trapped. |
|
| With a persistent compound the insects would be in a continual state of alarm or would habituate to the odour, thus reducing its value as an alarm pheromone. |
|
| Disruption of pheromone communication in three sympatric leafroller pests of apple in British Columbia. |
|
| He has spent much of his career examining how a moth's nervous system responds to the pheromone, and he thinks he knows enough to steer a moth directly, without the need for the chemicals themselves. |
|
| A releaser pheromone has an immediate effect on the behaviour of the recipient, whereas a primer pheromone affects the recipient's physiology, producing an effect on behaviour after a period of time. |
|
| However, athletes who are exposed to the pheromone on a constant basis become quickly desensitized to its effects. |
|
| It can work out where pheromone molecules are coming from by comparing the signals from each antenna, in the same way that a person works out the direction of a sound by comparing signals from each ear. |
|
| The gland contains a strongly scented pheromone, used to mark its home range. |
|
| As soon as other animals attempt to feast on this plant, the ants alert each other by dispersing a pheromone and join in the struggle against the outsider en masse. |
|

|
|
|
| Considerable effort is directed toward the expression of proteins from mammalian MAP kinase pathways as well as from the yeast pheromone pathway, which provides an excellent model of a MAP kinase signaling system. |
|
| To catch the male fly, farmers should utilize Methyl Eugenol pheromone traps and square shape plywood blocks of 1cm x 5cm x 5cm dimensions be utilized. |
