Abstract

This paper discusses insect behaviour and host plant resistance under single-plant species resistance and plant population resistance. Under single-plant species resistance, the effects of repellents, surface texture, shape and colour to insect behaviour are briefly reviewed and discussed. The effects of plant species diversity and plant density on insect behaviour are discussed under plant population resistance. Where possible, this discussion is illustrated with examples from recent behavioural studies on the weevil, Sitona lineatus L.

Résumé

Cet article discute du comportement de l'insecte et de la résistance de la plante hôte au point de vue des espèces de plantes individuelles et du point de vue de la résistance d'une population de plantes. Dans le cas de la résistance des plantes individuelles, les effects des répulsifs, la texture de la surface, la forme et la couleur sur le comportement de l'insecte sont brievement analysés et discutés. Les effects de la diversité des espèces de plantes et la densité des plantes sur le comportement des insectes sont discutés du point de vue de la résistance de la population des plantes. Dans la mesure du possible, cette discussion est illustrée avec des examples tirés des études receutes du comportement du charançon, Sitona lineatus L.
