Abstract
Stink bugs (Pentatomidae) produce volatile chemical substances in the scent glands, with unpleasant odors that function as alarm and defense signals against natural enemies. The contents of the scent glands of the predatory Podisus nigrispinus and its prey, the phytophagous Euschistus heros were used to evaluate the behavioral interactions between these two insects. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of odor components were performed by gas chromatography (GC/FID and GC/MS) and behavioral response evaluated by video-tracking system. The chemical composition of the odor produced by P. nigrispinus and E. heros contains aldehydes and hydrocarbons. The chemical mixture has quantitative and qualitative component differences between species and sexes, with 20 compounds identified for P. nigrispinus and 17 compounds for E. heros. The compounds (E)-2-hexenal, hexenoic acid, (E)-2-decenal, tridecane, tetradecane, and pentadecane occur in both species, but with different amounts between males and females. The secretion of the scent gland of P. nigrispinus and E. heros produces repellent and irritant effects between species and between sexes of the same species, supporting the defensive function of these compounds. Chemical identification of the Pentatomidae scent gland compounds may influence in insect behavior cause side effects in other insects. Overall, these compounds can be a sustainable and novel source of insecticides with potential to agricultural pest control.
期刊介绍：
It is the aim of Chemoecology to promote and stimulate basic science in the field of chemical ecology by publishing research papers that integrate evolution and/or ecology and chemistry in an attempt to increase our understanding of the biological significance of natural products. Its scopes cover the evolutionary biology, mechanisms and chemistry of biotic interactions and the evolution and synthesis of the underlying natural products. Manuscripts on the evolution and ecology of trophic relationships, intra- and interspecific communication, competition, and other kinds of chemical communication in all types of organismic interactions will be considered suitable for publication. Ecological studies of trophic interactions will be considered also if they are based on the information of the transmission of natural products (e.g. fatty acids) through the food-chain. Chemoecology further publishes papers that relate to the evolution and ecology of interactions mediated by non-volatile compounds (e.g. adhesive secretions). Mechanistic approaches may include the identification, biosynthesis and metabolism of substances that carry information and the elucidation of receptor- and transduction systems using physiological, biochemical and molecular techniques. Papers describing the structure and functional morphology of organs involved in chemical communication will also be considered.
