摘要
Electrophysiological recordings confirmed the ability of Monochamus notatus to detect at least six terpenes, and showed that the sensilla basiconica are olfactory receptors for these compounds. There was no correlation between the degree of behavioral activity and the response of the sensory cells to terpenes. No odor specialists were found. A wide range of response spectra of the sensilla basiconica were recorded. One sense cell has acceptors for both limonene and pinene. © 1978 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
