  abstract = {{P}est management using attractive and/or repellent semiochemicals is a key alternative to synthetic insecticides. {I}ts implementation requires a good understanding of the intra- and interspecific chemical interactions of arthropod pests, their interactions with their abiotic environment, as well as their evolutionary dynamics. {A}lthough mites include many pest species and biocontrol agents of economic importance in agriculture, their chemical ecology is largely understudied compared to insects. {W}e developed a high-throughput ethomics system to analyze these small arthropods and conducted a study on {D}ermanyssus gallinae, a problematic poultry parasite in the egg industry. {O}ur purpose was to elucidate the role played by host-derived odorants (synthetic kairomone) and conspecific odorants (mite body odors) in {D}. gallinae. {A}fter validating our nanocomputer controlled olfactometric system with volatile semiochemicals of known biological activity, we characterized response traits to kairomonal and/or pheromonal volatile blends in mites from different populations. {W}e were able to accurately characterize the repulsion or attraction behaviors in >1000 individual specimens in a standardized way. {O}ur results confirm the presence of a volatile aggregation pheromone emitted by {D}. gallinae and bring new elements to the effect of odor source presentation. {O}ur results also confirm the attractive effect on {D}ermanyssus gallinae of a blend of volatile compounds contained in hen odor, while highlighting a repellent effect at high concentration. {S}ignificant interindividual and interpopulation variation was noted particularly in responses to synthetic kairomone. {T}his information lays a valuable foundation for further exploring the emergence risk of resistance to semiochemicals.},
