Location of Receptors for Oviposition-Deterring Pheromone in Rhagoletis pomonella Flies 2

Abstract

Through structural ablation, we demonstrated that also be present on the mid and hind tarsi, but are not receptors of oviposition-deterring fruit marking pheromone in Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) flies are located on the fore tarsi. Additional receptors may present in behaviorally detectable numbers on the antennae, mouthparts, or ovipositor.
