Plant odors trigger clearing behavior in foraging trails: do they represent olfactory obstacles?
(Elsevier Science, 2019-12)
Foraging trails of leaf-cutting ants may be exposed to plant material that interferes with foragers’ flux either by physically blocking it or due to secondary metabolites which affect insect behavior. We hypothesized that ...
Functional morphology of femoral glands in the tegu lizard Tupinambis merianae
(Zoological Society of Japan, 2009-12)
Several lizards have femoral glands, which have an influence in various reproductive behaviors. In this paper we describe the morphological organization of the femoral glands in the Tegu, Tupinambis merianae, by means of ...
The role of silk in courtship and communication in mygalomorph spiders: do males regulate their courtship in response to female mating status?
(Elsevier Science, 2019-10)
In spiders, pheromones are known to be responsible for attracting the opposite sex, eliciting male searching and courtship behaviors, as well as for synchronizing potential mates in space and time. Most spiders are ...
Sub-lethal effects of the consumption of Eupatorium buniifolium essential oil in honeybees
(Public Library of Science, 2020-11)
When developing new products to be used in honeybee colonies, further than acute toxicity,it is imperative to perform an assessment of risks, including various sublethal effects. Thelong-term sublethal effects of xenobiotics ...
Cloning of an octopamine/tyramine receptor and plasticity of its expression as a function of adult sexual maturation in the male moth Agrotis ipsilon
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-08)
In the male moth Agrotis ipsilon behavioural response and antennal lobe (AL) neuron sensitivity to the female-produced sex pheromone increase with age and juvenile hormone (JH) level. We recently showed that the neuromodulator, ...
Evolution of pre‐zygotic and post‐zygotic barriers to gene flow among three cryptic species within the Anastrepha fraterculus complex
(Wiley, 2013-09)
Tropical tephritids are ideally suited for studies on population divergence and speciation because they include species groups undergoing rapid radiation, in which morphologically cryptic species and sister species are ...
Significant reduction in abundance of peridomestic mosquitoes (Culicidae) and Culicoides midges (Ceratopogonidae) after chemical intervention in western São Paulo, Brazil
(BioMed Central, 2020-11-07)
Background: We assessed the impact of two sand fly insecticide interventions (insecticide spraying and insecticide-impregnated dog collars) on the peridomestic abundance and distribution of mosquitoes (Culicidae) and biting ...
Male sexual enhancement after methoprene treatment in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae): A sustained response that does not fade away after sexual maturation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-08)
The juvenile hormone (JH) of insects triggers physiological changes related to reproduction in adults of both sexes. Methoprene is a sesquiterpene with some effects that are analogous to those of JH. Treatments with ...
A first worldwide multispecies survey of invasive Mediterranean pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae)
(Springer, 2020-02)
Several European and Mediterranean species of pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have become established in North America and the southern hemisphere, posing a novel threat to planted and naturally-occurring ...

(2017)
The juvenile hormone (JH) of insects triggers physiological changes related to reproduction in adults of both sexes. Methoprene is a sesquiterpene with some effects that are analogous to those of JH. Treatments with ...
