Behavioural responses of male and female S. littoralis to odours from plants or synthetic blends. Bars represent proportions of attracted moths (+SE). a Attraction of virgin male moths towards pheromone gland extracts in a wind tunnel assay with herbivore-damaged or undamaged cotton plants as odour background (P < 0.01, n = 30). b Proportion of virgin female moths that exhibited calling behaviour in the presence of either damaged or undamaged cotton plants (n = 30). c Attraction of mated females to cotton headspace collection (data as in [30]), Mix-5 and Mix-5:DMNT (n = 40). d Attraction of virgin males to cotton headspace (data as in [30]), Mix-5 and Mix-5:DMNT were not significantly different (n = 50). e Pheromone-triggered response of males was suppressed by DMNT at different ratios (n = 50). Different letters indicate statistical differences between the odours (binomial GLM, P < 0.001)
