| Abstract: | A simple open-arena olfactometer to assay behavioral chemicals with pedestrian insects has been developed for the southern pine beetle. The olfactometer is constructed of Plexiglas and uses a single airstream. A feature of the olfactometer is the use of a clock-driven elution device that permits continuous release of liquid materials into the olfactometer airstream.This is Texas Agricultural Experiment Station Paper No. 12324. The work herein reported was funded in part by McIntire-Stennis project 1525, USFS Southern Forest Experiment Station cooperative agreement 19–145 and the USDA sponsored program entitled  The Expanded Southern Pine Beetle Research and Applications Program through CSRS grant 516-15-70. The findings, opinions, and recommendations reported herein are those of the authors, and not necessarily those of the USDA. |
