Chemical attractants for larvae of Costelytra zealandica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
Open accessAbstract
In controlled laboratory tests, using shallow glass chambers containing a coarse river sand substrate between ‘blank’ and ‘test’ sample cages, 3rd‐instar larvae of Costelytra zealandica (White) were attracted to parsnip and carrot root, freshly ground nutmeg, and ß‐pinene (a constituent common to these materials). The terpenol a‐fenchol was strongly attractive to the larvae. Ryegrass root, α‐pinene, and limonene were not significantly attractive, and limonene may indeed have some repellent effect.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
