The ovipositional response of a Rutaceae-feeding papilionid butterfly, Papilio protenor, to
Citrus host plants was evoked by the synergistic action of l-(−)-stachydrine, d-(−)-quinic …

In nature, Papilio polytes utilizes a limited range of rutaceous plants as hosts. We isolated
and identified oviposition stimulants for the butterfly from the foliage of its primary host plant …

Papilio polytes utilizes only a few plant species of Rutaceae as hosts in the field. We
examined in detail the acceptability of Toddalia asiatica (a major host plant) and three other …

Identification of chemical compounds responsible for the oviposition behavior in a Rutaceae
feeder, Papilio protenor demetrius, was undertaken with the epicarp of sour orange (Citrus …

Host-plant chemicals responsible for egg-laying by the chestnut tiger butterfly, Parantica sita,
were identified from one of its hosts, Marsdenia tomentosa. Ovipositing females responded …

Oviposition by females of the black swallowtail butterfly, Papilio polyxenes, was stimulated
by tarsal contact with ethanolic extracts of carrot foliage, Daucus carota. Two of the …

The sulfur butterfly, Colias erate, utilizes various legumes as host plants. We examined the
chemical constituents of its primary host plant, Trifolium repens (white clover), to identify …

Papilio polytes, a Rutaceae feeder, exploits only a few plant species as larval food plants in
nature. To clarify the physiochemical factors underlying its narrow host range, we examined …

Avoidance of some crucifer species by the crucifer specialist, Pieris rapae, has been
attributed to the presence of oviposition deterrents in these plants. Studies on one such …

The monarch butterfly Danaus plexippus oviposits on milkweed plants, primarily within the
Asclepiadaceae. Oviposition stimulants responsible for host plant recognition were isolated …
