With approximately 83,000 species described, Curculionidae is the largest family of beetles, comprising more than 80% of all weevil species worldwide. Many species of Curculionidae attack a wide range of native and orchards crops, as well as globally important stored products such as grains, flour, and seeds, being responsible for significant environmental and economic losses. This work provides an overview of the research in the identification of aggregation pheromones of Curculionidae, and their potential contributions to the development of semiochemical-based pest management strategies. The synergistic effect of the host plant volatiles in the attractiveness of weevil pheromones is also briefly reported, demonstrating the important role of these additional attractants in the chemical communication of curculionids.
在已描述的大约 83000 种物种中,象甲科是甲虫中最大的科,包括了全世界超过 80%的象甲物种。象甲科的许多物种攻击广泛的本地和果园作物,以及全球重要的储存产品,如谷物、面粉和种子,造成重大的环境和经济损失。这项工作概述了在鉴定象甲科聚集信息素及其对基于半化学物质的害虫管理策略的发展的潜在贡献方面的研究。寄主植物挥发物在象甲信息素吸引力中的协同作用也有简要报道,这表明这些额外的引诱剂在象甲的化学通讯中起着重要作用。
