Flight initiation by male Rhodnius prolixus is promoted by female odors
(Springer, 2010-03)
Several triatomine bug species utilize chemical cues for sexual communication. We tested whether female or male Rhodnius prolixus, a vector of Chagas disease, produce volatile chemicals that elicit flight responses from ...
Push-Pull and Feedback Mechanisms Can Align Signaling System Outputs with Inputs
(Cell Press, 2016-11)
Many cell signaling systems, including the yeast pheromone response system, exhibit “dose-response alignment” (DoRA), in which output of one or more downstream steps closely matches the fraction of occupied receptors. DoRA ...
Pheromone-based In-Network Processing for wireless sensor network monitoring systems
(Macrothink Institute, 2012-12)
Monitoring spatio-temporal continuous fields using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has emerged as a novel solution. An efficient data-driven routing mechanism for sensor querying and information gathering in large-scale ...
Evaluating mating compatibility within fruit fly cryptic species complexes and the potential role of sex pheromones in pre-mating isolation
(Pensoft Publishers, 2015-11)
The study of sexual behavior and the identification of the signals involved in mate recognition between con-specifics are key components that can shed some light, as part of an integrative taxonomic approach, in delimitating ...
PhDSeeker: Pheromone-Directed Seeker for metabolic pathways
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Manually finding relationship networks among compounds can be a hard and time-consuming task. However, this process is fundamental when looking for a metabolic pathway that explains how multiple compounds are related, to ...
Electroantennogram responses of the Triatoma dimidiata complex to volatiles produced by its exocrine glands
(Elsevier Science, 2018-09)
Members of the Triatoma dimidiata complex are vectors of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease. Morphological and genetic studies indicate that T. dimidiata complex has three ...
Plant Chemicals and the Sexual Behavior of Male Tephritid Fruit Flies
(Entomological Society of America, 2018-09)
Plant compounds affect insects in many different ways. In addition to being a food source, plants also contain secondary metabolites that may have positive and negative impacts on insects. The influence of these compounds ...
Plant chemicals and the sexual behavior of male tephritid fruit flies
(Oxford University Press, 2018-09)
Plant compounds affect insects in many different ways. In addition to being a food source, plants also contain secondary metabolites that may have positive and negative impacts on insects. The influence of these compounds ...
From erotic excrescences to pheromone shots: structure and diversity of nuptial pads in anurans
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-05)
The nuptial pad is a secondary sexual character found in anuran amphibians. It includes modified epidermal and dermal tissues and is usually located on the first digit of the hand of males. In this study, we review the ...
