Flour beetles: responses to extracts of their own pupae
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|October 9, 1970
Abstract:
Two species of flour beetles, Tribolium confusum and Tribolium castaneum, respond to neutral pith disks impregnated with aqueous extracts of their pupae in such a way that the adults and larvae tend to select the extract of the other species. These findings have implications for the population ecology of Tribolium.
