EXAM STUDY GUIDE GRADE A+ STUDY
RESOURCE
recognition pheromones - CORRECT ANSWER -common in social insects,
but found in a wide range of species. non-volatile, absorbed in the waxy
layer on the surface of the insect
Chemoreceptors - CORRECT ANSWER -labeled line, across fiber patterning
labeled line (direct line) - CORRECT ANSWER -single receptor specific to
single chemical
across fiber patterning - CORRECT ANSWER -group of qualitatively different
receptors, receptors turn on or stay off
, pheromones to manage pests - CORRECT ANSWER -useful in optimizing
detection and survey strategies, mass annihilation, mate disruption, and
population manipulation
monitoring pheromone traps - CORRECT ANSWER -tells information about
accidental introductions, infestations, population movement, treatment
evaluation
mating disruption - CORRECT ANSWER -uses female sex pheromone to
disrupt mating, attracts only male spongy moth, effective over large areas,
slow releases from plastic flakes
Insect Territoriality - CORRECT ANSWER -defense of an area or resource
from other organisms
territorial development - CORRECT ANSWER -most female territories are
feeding territories while there are few examples of female mating
territories, while males most often establish mating territories (but may
provide female resources)
Male territories - CORRECT ANSWER -food source, oviposition site, no
resource
resource defense by males - CORRECT ANSWER -males guard oviposition
resource, ensures contact with females, mating success
