Comparison of lures loaded with codlemone and pear ester for capturing codling moths,Cydia pomonella, in apple and pear orchards using mating disruption
(Oxford Academic Press, 2010-01)
Studies were conducted in apple, Malus domestica Borkhausen and pear, Pyrus communis L. (Rosales: Rosaceae), orchards to evaluate the attractiveness of grey halobutyl septa loaded with 1 (L2) and 10 (Mega) mg of codlemone, ...
A first worldwide multispecies survey of invasive Mediterranean pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae)
(Springer, 2020-05)
Several European and Mediterranean spe- cies of pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have become established in North Amer- ica and the southern hemisphere, posing a novel threat to planted and ...
Testing the functionality of lipids from feces in the conspecific recognition of the weeping lizard, Liolaemus chiliensis
(Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, 2020-12-16)
Pheromones, a mix of proteins and lipids, are involved in lizards’ conspecific recognition. In our study, we specifically address whether fecal lipids are involved in conspecific recognition of the Weeping Lizard, Liolaemus ...
Quantitative measurement of protein relocalization in live cells
(Cell Press, 2013-02)
Microscope cytometry provides a powerful means to study signaling in live cells. Here we present a quantitative method to measure protein relocalization over time, which reports the absolute fraction of a tagged protein ...
Physiological and biochemical aspects of the avian uropygial gland
(Instituto Internacional de Ecologia, 2009)
This review discusses different aspects of the uropygial gland of birds. The gland exhibits a striking morphological
diversity in size, shape and presence/absence of tufts of feathers. It was shown that acidic mucins, ...
Structure and evolution of the sexually dimorphic integumentary swelling on the hands of dendrobatid poison frogs and their relatives (Amphibia: Anura: Dendrobatoidea)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-11)
The hands of adult males of many dendrobatid poison frogs and their relatives possess swelling formed by glandular tissue hypothesized to secrete courtship pheromones delivered to the female during cephalic amplexus. ...
Variable selection patterns on the labellum shape of Geoblasta pennicillata, a sexually deceptive orchid
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-09-07)
By mimicking shape and female mating pheromones, flowers of sexually deceptive orchids attract sexually excited males which pollinate them while trying to copulate. Although many studies have demonstrated the crucial ...
Emulsions containing essential oils, their components or volatile semiochemicals as promising tools for insect pest and pathogen management
(Elsevier Science, 2020-11)
Most of the traditional strategies used for facing the management of insect pest and diseases have started to fail due to different toxicological issues such as the resistance of target organism and the impact on environment ...
Utilization of extracellular information before ligand-receptor binding reaches equilibrium expands and shifts the input dynamic range
(National Academy Of Sciences, 2014-08)
Cell signaling systems sense and respond to ligands that bind cell surface receptors. These systems often respond to changes in the concentration of extracellular ligand more rapidly than the ligand equilibrates with its ...
Vestiges of Ent3p/Ent5p function in the giardial epsin homolog
(Elsevier Science, 2016-04)
An accurate way to characterize the functional potential of a protein is to analyze recognized protein domains encoded by the genes in a given group. The epsin N-terminal homology (ENTH) domain is an evolutionarily conserved ...
