Oviposition behaviour of Meligethes aeneus F.(Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) is characterised and
quantified on four different plant species. Six behavioural components are identified: W …

The oviposition and feeding preferences of the pollen beetle, Meligethes aeneus, were
determined in choice and no‐choice tests in field, semi‐field and greenhouse trials. Plant …

A simple bioassay is described for the response of Meligethes aeneus F.(Coleoptera:
Nitidulidae) to different plants and plant parts. Assays with non‐hibernated beetles showed …

Motivation-based models dominate current theory concerning host plant selection for
oviposition by herbivorous insects. A female searching for a host plant will be more likely to …

The recognition by female phytophagous insects of a plant as a 'good'or 'bad'host for egg
laying is based on a variety of cues (either visual, physical or chemical). Specific cues are …

In sustainable pest management, orientation of insect pests can be manipulated by utilizing
the relative attractiveness of different host plants. Plants attractive for oviposition but not …

The use of semiochemicals for manipulation of the pollen beetle Meligethes aeneus
(Fabricius)(Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) is being investigated for potential incorporation into a …

The response of the pollen beetle Meligethes aeneus Fab.(Coleoptera, Nitidulidae) to the
volatiles of undamaged plants and conspecifics was tested in a Y‐tube‐olfactometer …
