The Designation of Chemicals in Terms of the Responses They Elicit from Insects1
Abstract
The terms "attractant" and "repellent" only have commonly been employed to describe chemicals in terms of their effect on the behavior of insects. The two terms as defined in their strictest sense do not apply to all possible types of reactions of insects to chemicals. There is a genuine need to clarify the use of terminology in this subject. An analysis of the behavioral effects of chemicals on locomotion, feeding, and oviposition has led to the designation and definition of five terms; namely, arrestant, stimulant (locomotor, feeding, ovipositional), attractant, repellent, deterrent. It is proposed that these five be employed as standard terms within the limits of the definitions given.

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.
