Abstract | A Y-tube olfactometer with a linear track was used to investigate biases in directional choice of female Coccinella septempunctata. Tests were conducted by running experiments with no odour sources on either side of the Y-tube. C. septempunctata showed a bias to the right-hand arm of the olfactometer. To check for biases in relation to possible environmental gradients across the room, tests were repeated aligning the olfactometer to all four points of the compass. C. septempunctata still maintained a bias to the right-hand arm of the olfactometer irrespective of its orientation. |
