Next, we tested whether intra- and interspecific pre-inhabitation modify habitat selection in both aphid species by counting the number of aphid on areas of an artificial experimental arena where aphids freely moved between pre-inhabited and non-inhabited areas. Then we extracted footprints or compounds that triggered the aphid spatial preference and then tested their bioactivity. Next, through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis we identified and quantified (ng) the compounds and tested the effect of R. maidis density as well as the equivalent amount of the major compound using a synthetic form. uncoded table 20 CC-BY-4.0 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ File content Content Porras Mitzy F mitzy.porras@gmail.com Content Binary Object (Media Type) Binary (Type) Porras Mitzy F mitzy.porras@gmail.com Binary (Type) Binary Object (File Size) Binary (Size) Bytes Porras Mitzy F mitzy.porras@gmail.com Binary (Size) [Bytes] Binary Object Binary Porras Mitzy F mitzy.porras@gmail.com Binary CurationLevelC Enhanced curation https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Curation_levels citable Aphids insects Pheromone author88196 author88197 author88198 author88199 curlevel30 license21 param146419 param99583 pi88196 term51041 term70457 term70458 topotype11
