We review the rich literature on behavioural responses of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to
stimuli of different colours. Only in one species there are adequate physiological data on …

The ecology of aphids is, like that of most insects, highly dependent upon signals. Signals
from host and non-host plants convey information that is vital for selecting feeding …

Plant virus infection can alter the suitability of host plants for their aphid vectors. Most reports
indicate that virus-infected plants are superior hosts for vectors compared to virus-free plants …

Gaining insight into the mechanisms of chemoreception in aphids is of primary importance
for both integrative studies on the evolution of host plant specialization and applied research …

Presently, research is becoming focused on the molecular aspects of compatible and
incompatible aphid-plant interactions. Aphids anticipate wound and defence responses by …

Olfactometer bioassays and electrophysiological studies showed that the lacewing,
Chrysopa sinica, the aphid parasitoid, Aphidius sp., and the coccinellid, Coccinella …

Insects have a highly developed olfactory sensory system, mainly based in their antennae,
for the detection and discrimination of volatile compounds in the environment …

The life cycle of some aphid species involves seasonal switches between unrelated summer
(secondary) and winter (primary) host plants. Many of these “host-alternating” species …

The volatile components from intact tea shoots (ITS), obtained by air entrainment, were
identified by their mass spectra and retention times and confirmed by comparison with …

Studies regarding pheromes consisting of essential oil components of various plants and
released by insects and arachnids (pests) were compiled for this review. For example …
