Female mate choice by chemical signals in a semi-terrestrial crab
(Elsevier Science, 2014-05)
Information about the roles of both sexes in pair formation is required to better understand the mechanisms involved in sexual selection. Mate choice could depend on the courtship behavior, involving chemical, tactile and ...
First record of chemical signals from the queen during the oviposition process in stingless bees
(SPRINGER BASEL AGBASEL, 2013-08-02)
In stingless bees, the cell provisioning and oviposition process consists of several integrated behavioral sequences and several stereotyped queen-worker interactions. This study aims to demonstrate that chemical signals ...
Bacterial chat: Intestinal metabolites and signals in host-microbiota-pathogen interactions
(2017-01-01)
Intestinal bacteria employ microbial metabolites from the microbiota and chemical signaling during cell-to-cell communication to regulate several cellular functions. Pathogenic bacteria are extremely efficient in orchestrating ...
Novel non-flagellated surface motility mediated by chemical signaling in Citrobacter rodentium
(2019-01-01)
Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) are human intestinal pathogens of clinical importance and their mechanism of pathogenicity is widely studied. However, both EHEC and EPEC poorly infect ...
Chemical caressess: geographical variation of male sexual signals in a Neotropical scorpion
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2015-07)
Differences in sexual signals among species are common, and may influence mate recognition and reproductive isolation. In scorpions, behavioural mechanisms and other sexual signals involved in mate selection and reproductive ...
The look of royalty: visual and odour signals of reproductive status in a paper wasp
(ROYAL SOC, 2008)
Reproductive conflicts within animal societies occur when all females can potentially reproduce. In social insects, these conflicts are regulated largely by behaviour and chemical signalling. There is evidence that presence ...
Insect-corn kernel interaction: Chemical signaling of the grain and host recognition by Sitophilus zeamais
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-12)
In living organisms, the cuticle has structural functions and is involved through chemical signaling in biological interactions such as plant-insect and provides protection against biotic and abiotic factors, thereby ...
To be or not to be . . . a flower? A test of possible cues influencing hunting site selection in subadult females of the crab spider Epicadus heterogaster (Guerin 1812) (Araneae: Thomisidae)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012-01-01)
Females of some Thomisidae species are known to use visual and olfactory stimuli to select high quality hunting sites. However, because studies about foraging behavior in this family are concentrated on a few species, the ...
