Dose-response curves for EAG responses of female (filled triangle) and male (empty square) Apolygus lucorum antennae to individual compounds identified as the active volatiles of 18 flowering host plants.

(A) (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol; (B) m-xylene; (C) Butyl acrylate; (D) Butyl propionate; (E) Butyl butyrate; (F) (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate; (G) 3-ethylbenzaldehyde. The data on the y-axis are mean ± SE. *denotes a significant difference between responses of females and males (P < 0.05). Ten individuals per gender were assayed for each compound.
