Recent Trends in the Olfactory Responses of Insect Natural Enemies to Plant Volatiles

Abstract

*[Numerous studies have demonstrated the dynamic role of herbivore-damaged plants in the attraction of natural enemies (predators, parasitoids). Volatile plant compounds released in response to insect feeding serve as a chemical signal for herbivore natural enemies. Volatiles released by insect-damaged plants function as attractants & affect the behavior of the natural enemies of herbivorous insects.]
