摘要： Plant-derived volatiles play a significant role in host selection of phytophagous insects, but their role in seasonal host shifts remain unclear. The polyphagous mirid bug Apolygus lucorum displays marked seasonal host alternation. During summer, volatiles from flowering plants play a key role in A. lucorum foraging. Though A. lucorum adults deposit overwintering eggs on jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) and grape (Vitis vinifera) during autumn, it is unclear whether plant volatiles equally mediate this host selection behavior. During 2015 and 2016, we found that population densities of A. lucorum adults on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) during August were higher than those in September, whereas the opposite pattern was observed on fruit trees (i.e., jujube and grape). The dispersal factor of the adult population that dispersed from cotton fields during September was higher than in August, whereas opposite patterns were observed in the neighboring jujube/grape orchard. In Y-tube olfactometer trials, A. lucorum adults preferred cotton plant volatiles over fruit tree odors in August, whereas the opposite patterns were found in September. Three electro-physiologically active volatiles (butyl acrylate, butyl propionate and butyl butyrate) were identified from jujube and grape plants. During September, active volatiles are emitted in considerably greater amounts by jujube and grape than in August, while the amount of volatile emissions in cotton decreases in September. Temporal shifts in plant volatile emission thus may modulate host plant foraging of A. lucorum, and appear to guide its colonization of different host plants. Our findings help understand the role of plant volatiles in the host plant selection and seasonal dynamics of polyphagous herbivores.
