Abstract

Examples of phytochemically-based learning of host preference in herbivorous insects are reviewed in the context of traditionally important issues: the number and kinds of chemicals involved; which sensory modalities are affected; whether peripheral or central nervous processing is altered; and whether learning is associative or not. A fifth issue addressed here- whether experience enhances a feeding or ovipositing insect's propensity to accept familiar chemical stimuli or to reject novel chemical stimuli-has been ignored in previous studies. Following the review, evidence is presented indicating that female apple maggot flies (Ragoletis pomonella) learn to reject both novel physical and novel chemical stimuli.

摘要

在讨论传统重要问题的背景下，综述了以植物化学为基础的植食性昆虫寄主偏好学习的例子：涉及的化学物质的数量和种类；受影响的感觉模态；外周或中枢神经处理是否改变；以及学习是否是联想的。本文还讨论了一个以前的研究中被忽视的第五个问题——经验是否增强取食或产卵昆虫接受熟悉的化学刺激或拒绝新的化学刺激的倾向。在综述之后，本文提供了证据表明，雌性苹果实蝇（Ragoletis pomonella）学会拒绝新的物理和化学刺激。
