Contact pheromones mediate mate recognition and play important roles in mating systems of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). One common bioassay of contact chemoreception in cerambycids involves presenting a freeze-killed female to a male in a Petri dish arena. If the male attempts to mate with the female carcass, it confirms that mate recognition signals are present and intact and behavior...
Little is known of the reproductive behavior of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Prioninae. Mallodon dasystomus (Say), the hardwood stump borer, is a widely distributed prionine that is native to the southern U.S. Here, we explored the chemically-mediated mating behavior of M. dasystomus, and tested the hypothesis that males recognize females by a contact pheromone. In...
