    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des électroantennogrammes (EAG) ont enregistré les réponses, en élevages de femelles et mâles vierges de Dacus dorsalis, à une gamme de chaînes de carbones de C1 à C12 saturés et non-saturés d'alcools aliphatiques et d'aldéhydes, dont beaucoup sont connus comme substances volatiles des végétaux. Seulement 2 des 35 composés examinés ont provoqué des EAG significativement plus importants chez les femelles que chez les mâles. Pour les séries des deux groupes fonctionnels examinés, les aldéhydes ont provoqué des réponses supérieures ou égales aux alcools. En général, les réponses aux alcools nonsaturés n'étaient pas significativement différentes des réponses aux alcools saturés. Cependant, les aldéhydes non-saturés, (E)-2-hexénal et 10-undécénal, ont induit des EAG de plus grande ampleur que leurs analogues saturés. Les EAG étaient significativement les plus importants pour une chaîne de longueur particulière, la réponse aux alcools primaires culminant en C6 et les aldéhydes en C7. Les alcools monoéniques (E)-2- culminaient en C6, tandis que les alcools (E)-3- étaient étales entre C5 et C8. Les EAG les plus importants ont été obtenus pour tous les composés examinés avec les alcools et aldéhydes en C6 qui appartiennent à “l'odeur verte complexe” émise par beaucoup de plantes. Le bénéfice adaptatif potentiel de la sensibilité sélective à “l'odeur verte” des feuilles est examinée en fonction du comportement de prospection de D. dorsalis.
    Notes: Abstract Electroantennograms (EAGs) were recorded from unmated, laboratory-reared, male and female oriental fruit flies, Dacus dorsalis, in response to a range of between C1 and C12 carbon chain-length saturated and unaturated aliphatic alcohols and aldehydes, most all of which are known host-plant volatiles. Only two of the 35 compounds tested elicited significantly larger EAGs from female than male antennae. For the two functional-group series tested, aldehydes elicited responses greater than or equal to the responses to the alcohols. In general, the unsaturated alcohols did not elicit responses significantly different from the saturated alcohols. However, the unsaturated aldehydes, (E)-2-hexenal and 10-undecenal, elicited larger amplitude EAGs than their saturated analogs. EAGs were significantly greater for a particular carbon chain-length, with responsiveness to primary alcohols peaking at C6 and aldehydes peaking at C7. The (E)-2- monoenic alcohols peaked at C6, while the (E)-3-alcohols plateaued between C5 and C8. The greatest EAG responses of all compounds tested were elicited by the saturated and unsaturated C6 alcohols and aldehydes which are constitutents of the “general green-leaf volatile complex” that emanates from most plants. The potential adapative benefit of selective sensitivity to green-leaf volatiles is discussed in regards to foraging behaviors of oriental fruit flies.

    Notes: Abstract Electroantennograms (EAGs) were recorded from unmated, laboratory-reared, male and femaleCeratitis capitata (medfly) in response to a range of C1 and C2 to C12 carbon chain-length aliphatic alcohols, aldehydes, acetates, and acids, and lactones, some of which are known volatiles from leaves and fruits. A large degree of EAG response uniformity between the sexes was observed, with only eight of the 70 compounds tested eliciting significantly larger amplitude EAG responses from female than male antennae. In general, for the five functional-group series tested, aldehydes and alcohols elicited greater responses than acetates, lactones, and acids. The unsaturated alcohols, aldehydes, acetates, and acids elicited equal or larger amplitude EAG responses than their comparable saturated compounds. For four of the functional-group series tested, the EAG response amplitude was significantly greater for a particular carbon chain length, with responsiveness to primary alcohols and aldehydes peaking at C6, acids peaking at C5–6, and acetates peaking at both C5 and C8. The EAG responses to both the 2- and 3-position monoenic alcohols peaked at C6 and C8, while the secondary alcohols peaked at C7. The greatest EAG responses of all compounds tested were elicited by monoenic C6 alcohols and aldehydes that are constituents of the “general green-leaf odor” that emanates from most plants. The potential adaptive benefit of selective sensitivity to green-leaf volatiles is discussed in regard to foraging behavior of medflies.

    Notes: Abstract Electroantennograms (EAGs) of unmated laboratory-reared male and femaleCeratitis capitata (Wiedemann) were recorded in response to the attractant trimedlure [tert-butyl 4(and 5)-chloro-trans-2-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate] and its fourtrans isomers. For both sexes, the magnitude of the EAG response was relatively low as compared to other previously tested compounds (i.e., plant volatiles). Dosage-response curves generated for all TML isomers revealed that flies responded to increasing dosages over a relatively narrow range (two to three log steps). Responses for both sexes peaked at ca. 10 μg dose for all isomers. Antennal response in males was greatest to the C isomer followed by the B1, A, and B2 isomers, while responses of females were greatest for the A isomer followed by B1, C, and B2. Both sexes exhibited a long recovery period for the response potential to return to baseline at doses above 1 μg for all of the isomers tested, except for B2. The low EAG sensitivity to trimedlure and the apparent EAG selectivity to the C isomer in males are discussed in relation to the known field attractancy of males to the C, A, B1, and B2 isomers.
