LOCUST AGGREGATION PHEROMONES. “It is now clear that chemical ecology plays an important part in the life of locusts and that a bouquet of various odorants may act at different times during their development and adult maturation and, therefore, may have different effects at different times. females preferentially mate with males emitting a high concentration of the volatiles phenylethyl alcohol (PEA) and (Z)-3-nonen-1-ol (3-NOL) and this also affected successful hatching of their larvae. Recently, a careful study of Guo et al. (2020) identified 4-vinylanisole or 4-methoxystyrene as an aggregation pheromone in Locusta migratoria.”
