Identification of a male-produced sex-aggregation pheromone for a highly invasive cerambycid beetle, Aromia bungii

Abstract The longhorned beetle Aromia bungii (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a major pest of stone fruit trees in the genus Prunus, including cherries, apricots, and peaches. Its native range includes China, Korea, Mongolia, and eastern Russia, but it has recently invaded and become established in sev...
