Rate of realized interception of pheromone pulses in different wind speeds modulates almond moth orientation

The interception of a pheromone filament induces flying moths to surge briefly nearly straight upwind. in the absence of pheromone moths cease upwind progress and zigzag crosswind. We tested males of the almond moth. Cadra cautella (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). in a low-turbulence wind tunnel in wind ve...
