Description

This archive contains the raw data from electrophysiological experiments conducted with Trissolcus japonicus Ashmead, Trissolcus basalis Wollaston, and Trissolcus oenone Dodd (Scelionidae: Hymenoptera) in relation to volatile compounds associated with New Zealand stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Trissolcus japonicus is a biological control agent approved for release in New Zealand should brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys Stål, establish here. Trissolcus basalis was introduced into New Zealand in 1949 as a biological control agent against Nezara viridula L., and Trissolcus oenone is a native parasitoid which is also found in Australia. All three species are parasitoids of pentatomid bugs. This work aimed to identify which volatile compounds from solvent body washes of adult stink bugs elicited antennal responses among the three parastioids. A comprehensive README is included.
