    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Trois extraits ont été obtenus de chacune de quatre plantes-hôtes: sucres/glycosides; acides aminées/bases organiques; acides organiques. Les quatre plantes-hôtes étudiées furent le sapin baumier, et les épinettes blanc, noir, et rouge. Le comportement gustatoire des larves a été étudié en raison de l'effet de combinaisons d'extraits de chaque plantehôte. Les résultats comparent la préférence des larves ainsi que leur consommation totale envers ces extraits.
    Notes: Abstract Three extracts were obtained from each of four host plants: sugars/glycosides; amino acids/bases; and organic acids. The four hosts studied were balsam fir, black spruce, red spruce, and white spuce. The effects of recombined host plant extracts on the feeding behaviour of eastern spruce budworm larvae were examined in two-choice tests. Results compare feeding preferences as well as feeding rates between combinations of extracts. The importance of each class of polar compounds is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A two-choice, wind-tunnel olfactometer was designed and contructed to determine whether second-instar eastern spruce budworm larvae,Christoneura fumiferana (Clem.), could detect and discriminate among host-plant volatiles. Volatiles of current year's growth ofPicea glauca were preferred over those ofP. rubens, P. mariana, or air.Abies balsamea was preferred overP. mariana or air.P. rubens andP. mariana were both preferred over air. Two-year-old growth ofP. glauca, A. balsamea, P. rubens, andP. mariana were all preferred over air. Current year's growth of these host evergreen species was usually preferred over former year's growth of the same species in each case.

    Notes: Abstract Feeding preferences to extracts from three host plants were determined for sixth-instar eastern spruce budworm larvae reared on one of three hosts or on artificial diet. Preferences of foliage-reared larvae were compared to those of diet-reared, or naive, larvae. No effect of plant induction was found using amino acids and bases and chloroform extracts on test disks in three-choice experiments. Possible effects of habituation for sugars and glycosides from white spruce were shown. Organic acids contributed to a phenomenon of avoidance learning in larvae reared on all three hosts, showing that this fraction from balsam fir was the least deterrent, while that from black spruce was the most deterrent.

    Notes: Abstract The feeding preferences and feeding rates of eastern spruce budworm on extracts from mature foliage normally avoided by larvae indicate that the chemical composition of four major host plants does not account for this avoidance. Other factors such as the degree of lignification and/or moisture content of the older foliage may play a more important role. Of 14 amino acids tested, alanine, lysine, proline, and serine stimulated feeding. The interactions of amino acids and sucrose were studied, and the results are discussed in relation to feeding preferences and feeding rates.
