Switching attraction to inhibition: Mating-induced reversed role of sex pheromone in an insect
(Company of Biologists, 2010-09)
In the moth, Agrotis ipsilon, newly mated males cease to be attracted to the female-produced sex pheromone, preventing them from re-mating until the next night, by which time they would have refilled their reproductive ...
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, ...
Sucrose acceptance threshold: a way to measure sugar perception in ants
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2012-02)
Variation in the perception of sweet taste is a well-known phenomenon in the animal kingdom. Wellestablished protocols for measuring sucrose responsiveness in non-social insects and honeybees have made it possible to ...
Behavioral and antennal responses of lobesia botrana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to volatiles from the non-host plant schinus molle L. (Anacardiaceae)
(Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, INIA, 2019)
Lobesia botrana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), the grapevine moth, is one of the major pest on grapes. Current control is based on spraying insecticides and/or mating disruption technique, using female sex pheromone, affecting ...
Learning Modifies Odor Mixture Processing to Improve Detection of Relevant Components
(Society for Neuroscience, 2015-01)
Honey bees have a rich repertoire of olfactory learning behaviors, and they therefore are an excellent model to study plasticity in olfactory circuits. Recent behavioral, physiological, and molecular evidence suggested ...
Sleep in honey bees is affected by the herbicide glyphosate
(Nature Research, 2020-12)
Sleep plays an essential role in both neural and energetic homeostasis of animals. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) manifest the sleep state as a reduction in muscle tone and antennal movements, which is susceptible to physical ...
Dominant-subordinate social interactions and subordinate behavioral responses in the primitively eusocial sweat bee Augochlora phoemonoe (Hymenoptera: Halictidae)
(Springer, 2018-12)
Social interactions are studied in colonies of eusocial Augochlora phoemonoe, reared in artificial nests in the laboratory. Three kinds of behavioral interactions are distinguished between foundresses and daughter bees: ...
