Stem-boring beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae & Platypodidae) are an
important group of insect pests causing severe damage to fores try trees
throughout the world. In a mixed forest, suitable host trees of these beetles
are often scattered with their unsuitable host trees. Previous studies have
shown that the host location and selection process of stem-boring beetles is
mediated by plant-derrived volatiles. Platypus quercivorus Murayama is a
serious pest of oak trees in Japan since 1980s. In this study, we used a
Y-tube olfactomer to examine the olfactory responses of P. quercivorus to
the chemical volatiles emitted from the leaves of different six tree species,
and from fresh and stressed leaves of its host trees. In addition, the profiles
of leaf volatiles from the six plant species were identified. Results showed
that P. quercivorus beetles were attracted to the chemical volatiles from the
fresh leaves and were repelled by those from the stressed leaves. These
findings indicate that the leaf volatiles are esessitial cues for host selection
of P. quercivorus.
