Mate-searching behavior in the invasive German wasp, Vespula germanica, in Patagonia
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-07)
In order to increase the probability of reproduction, social insects can adopt various mate-finding strategies, such as increasing densities of males at specific locations, and/or visual and chemical cues that attract the ...
Single-cell profiling screen identifies microtubule-dependent reduction of variability in signaling
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-04)
Populations of isogenic cells often respond coherently to signals, despite differences in protein abundance and cell state. Previously, we uncovered processes in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae pheromone response system (PRS) ...
A fatty acid synthase gene (FASN3) from the integument tissue of Rhodnius prolixus contributes to cuticle water loss regulation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-12)
Fatty acid synthase is a multifunctional enzyme involved in the formation of fatty acids. Despite the role of fatty acids in cell signalling and energy metabolism, and as precursors to pheromones and hydrocarbons that ...
Central role of G protein Gαi2 and Gαi2 + vomeronasal neurons in balancing territorial and infant-directed aggression of male mice
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019-03)
Aggression is controlled by the olfactory system in many animal species. In male mice, territorial and infant-directed aggression are tightly regulated by the vomeronasal organ (VNO), but how diverse subsets of sensory ...
Copulatory behavior of Microstigmatidae (Araneae: Mygalomorphae): A study with Xenonemesia platensis from Argentina
(American Arachnological Society, 2012-08)
Microstigmatidae are small ground-dwelling and free-living spiders. The present study reports on the copulatory behavior of Xenonemesia platensis Goloboff 1989, constituting the first report on sexual behavior of the ...
Chemical Constituents of the Femoral Gland Secretions of Male Tegu Lizards (Tupinambis merianae) (Family Teiidae)
(Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung, 2011-08)
In spite of the importance of chemical signals (pheromones) in the reproductive behav-iour of lizards, the chemical compounds secreted by their femoral glands, which may be used as sexual signals, are only known for a few ...
Formulation of fungal agents for the development of agricultural inputs to control phytoparasitic nematodes: A mini-review
(Research Trends, 2021-12)
Ecosystems are alarmingly polluted, with the consequent extinction of several sensitive species at an accelerated rate. The continuous use of agrochemicals for improved protection and plant productivity is often linked ...
A new and efficient variable selection algorithm based on ant colony optimization. Applications to near infrared spectroscopy/partial least-squares analysis
(Elsevier Science, 2011-08)
A new variable selection algorithm is described, based on ant colony optimization (ACO). The algorithm aim is to choose, from a large number of available spectral wavelengths, those relevant to the estimation of analyte ...
Comparison of mating behavior and copulation in male morphotypes of the spider crab Libinia spinosa (Brachyura: Majoidea: Epialtidae)
(Crustacean Society, 2012-02)
The mating behavior of the spider crab Libinia spinosa Milne Edwards 1834 was studied in the laboratory. Two male morphotypes as morphometrically immature (MI) with small chelae and morphometrically mature (MM) with large ...
Acetic acid lure placement within traps affects moth catches of codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
(2016-12)
Previous studies have shown that the addition of an acetic acid colure (AA) to traps baited with pear ester, (E,Z)‐2,4‐ethyl‐decadienoate, and codlemone, (E,E)‐8,10‐dodecadien‐1‐ol, the sex pheromone (PH) of codling moth, ...
