However, scarce knowledge is available on the impact of pheromones on plant responses, and how these in turn affect herbivorous insects. A previous study showed that exposure of pine (Pinus sylvestris) to the sex pheromones of the pine sawfly Diprion pini results in enhanced defenses against the eggs of this sawfly; the egg survival rate on pheromone-exposed pine needles was lower than that on unexposed pine. The long-lasting common evolutionary history of D. pini and P. sylvestris suggests that D. pini has developed counter-adaptations to these pine responses. Here, we investigated by behavioral assays how D. pini copes with the defenses of pheromone-exposed pine. The sawfly females did not discriminate between the odor of pheromone-exposed and unexposed pine. However, when they had the chance to contact the trees, more unexposed than pheromone-exposed trees received eggs. The exposure of pine to the pheromones did not affect the performance of larvae and their pupation success. Our findings indicate that the effects that responses of pine to D. pini sex pheromones exert on the sawfly eggs and sawfly oviposition behavior do not extend to effects on the larvae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects15060458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]],"date-time":"2024-06-19T08:06:06Z","timestamp":1718784366000},"page":"458","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pine Response to Sawfly Pheromones: Effects on Sawfly\u2019s Oviposition and Larval Growth"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Asifur","family":"Rahman-Soad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Zoology\/Animal Ecology, Institute of Biology, Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, 12163 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8588-185X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Norbert","family":"Bittner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Zoology\/Animal Ecology, Institute of Biology, Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, 12163 Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Translational Genomics, Helmholtz Zentrum M\u00fcnchen Deutsches Forschungszentrum f\u00fcr Gesundheit und Umwelt, 85764 Neuherberg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7519-7395","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"Hilker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Zoology\/Animal Ecology, Institute of Biology, Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, 12163 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"36","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cois.2017.09.004","article-title":"Evolutionary origin of insect pheromones","volume":"24","author":"Steiger","year":"2017","journal-title":"Curr.
