  abstract = {{I}n {L}epidoptera, host plant selection is first conditioned by oviposition site preference of adult females followed by feeding site preference of larvae. {D}ietary experience to plant volatile cues can induce larval and adult host plant preference. {W}e investigated how the parent's and self-experience induce host preference in adult females and larvae of three lepidopteran stem borer species with different host plant ranges, namely the polyphagous {S}esamia nonagrioides, the oligophagous {B}usseola fusca and the monophagous {B}usseola nairobica, and whether this induction can be linked to a neurophysiological phenotypic plasticity. {T}he three species were conditioned to artificial diet enriched with vanillin from the neonate larvae to the adult stage during two generations. {T}hereafter, two-choice tests on both larvae and adults using a {Y}-tube olfactometer and electrophysiological (electroantennography [{EAG}] recordings) experiments on adults were carried out. {I}n the polyphagous species, the induction of preference for a new olfactory cue (vanillin) by females and 3rd instar larvae was determined by parents' and self-experiences, without any modification of the sensitivity of the females antennae. {N}o preference induction was found in the oligophagous and monophagous species. {O}ur results suggest that lepidopteran stem borers may acquire preferences for new olfactory cues from the larval to the adult stage as described by {H}opkins' host selection principle ({HHSP}), neo-{H}opkins' principle, and the concept of 'chemical legacy.'},
