Abstract

An ambush forager (Steinernema carpocapsae) and a cruising forager (S. glaseri) were assayed for their responses to volatiles associated with Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera). Results suggest that carbon dioxide attracts S. glaseri to areas likely to hold hosts. Ambush foragers are less influenced by cues associated with hosts or their habitat. -from Authors
