Abstract: BACKGROUND Eurasian spruce bark beetles use both attractant and anti-attractant semiochemicals to find suitable mature host trees. trans-4-thujanol is abundant in young, unsuitable spruce trees. The electrophysiological studies have demonstrated its high activity levels, but… read more here.
