dc.description.abstract | Male cockroaches of the species Periplaneta americana rely on a female-produced airborne pheromone to initiate courting behavior. The male responds to the presence of the pheromone with rapid, oriented locomotion. Contact with the female (or other males or larvae) elicits wing-raising and other responses characteristic of male courtship behavior. Males of other species within the genus Periplaneta also respond to a female-produced pheromone, but with less intensity than P. americana. Cross-species testing shows that P. brunnea males respond to the Periplaneta pheromone with the same intensity elicited by the P. brunnea pheromone. A second reaction group containing P. australasiae, P. fuliginosa , and P. japonica also responds to the P. americana pheromone and their conspecific pheromones, but with a low intensity characteristic of these species. Alteration of the antennal morphology of P. americana males can be experimentally induced by manipulating the level of juvenile hormone during development. Males with a full adult complement of olfactory receptors all respond behaviorally to the pheromone. Adult males with larval antennae produced by bilateral treatment with exogenous juvenile hormone-mimic do not respond to the pheromone, although they are completely adult in other respects. | en_US |
