Field evaluation of electrophysiologically-active dung volatiles as chemical lures for trapping of dung beetles

Abstract Dung beetles are economically important beneficial insects that process dung. To locate this source, they use volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The objectives of the study were to evaluate the attractiveness of ten electrophysiologically-active dung volatiles (phenol, skatole, indole, p-cr...
