Abstract

Olfaction plays a key role in host location and possibly also in host preference in a highly polyphagous insect, the Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman. Moreover, this study also shows for the first time that impairment in olfaction by antennectomy affects feeding intensity. This suggests probable integration of olfactory and gustatory inputs in eliciting maximal/optimal feeding response.
