The results showed that feeding deterrent activity depends on the structure of the tested compounds. Additional methyl group in the molecule of some compounds influences their activity increase or changes their properties from attractant to deterrent ones. The present results also demonstrate the species and developmental stage dependence of antifeedant activity.}, type={Article}, title={Feeding deterrent activity of lactones with di - and crimethylcyclohexane system against lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus Panzer and Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decernlineata Say}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/130774/PDF-MASTER/5_JOURNAL_43_2_2003_Szczepanik_Feeding.pdf}, keywords={lactones, antifeedants, lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, Coloradobeetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata}, }
