The behavioural events leading up to oviposition by Pieris rapae and the sensory modalities
involved in host selection by these butterflies are reviewed. The process of host finding and …

A Rutaceae-feeding swallowtail butterfly, Papilio protenor demetrius, exploits only a few
plant species as hosts in the field. We examined in detail the acceptability of five potential …

Oviposition response of Ideopsis similis (L.)(Lepidoptera: Danaidae) was examined for 12
phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids present in its host plant, Tylophora tanakae (Maxim.) …

Papilio maackii females prefer a rutaceous plant, Phellodendron amurense, for oviposition,
whereas another semi-sympatric Rutaceae feeder, Papilio protenor, never exploits this plant …

Three C-glycosylflavones in the leaves of Oxalis corniculata, the host plant of the lycaenid
butterfly pale grass blue (Pseudozizeeria maha), were identified as 6-C-glucosylluteolin …

Abstract Females of Junonia coenia (Nymphalidae), a specialist on plants that contain
iridoid glycosides, were found to use aucubin and catalpol, iridoid glycosides typical of a …

Chemicals releasing oviposition by an Asclepiadaceae feeder, Ideopsis similis, were
identified from a host plant, Tylophora tanakae. A strong positive response was evoked by a …

Oviposition stimulants of an Aristolochiaceae-feeding swallowtail butterfly, Atrophaneura
alcinous, were isolated from the leaves of Aristolochla debilis and characterized as a mixture …

Field observations revealed that flowers of Osmanthus fragrans attract few insect species
despite their strong scent and vivid coloration (yellowish orange). Floral volatiles of the plant …

抄録 Effect of various factors on the ovipositional behavior in Papilio demetrius CR. were
examined and a factor (s) in the host-plants, which directly stimulates oviposition response …
