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 ...
Trail pheromone modulates subjective reward evaluation in Argentine ants
(Company of Biologists, 2020-09)
The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, is native to South America but has become one of the most invasive species in the world. These ants heavily rely on trail pheromones for foraging, and previous studies have focused ...
Secretory mechanisms for the male produced aggregation pheromone of the palm weevil Rhynchophorus palmarum L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(1996-11-01)
Histological and chemical analyses of different corporal segments of the palm weevil Rhynchophorus palmarum, revealed the presence of two symmetrical glands (modified salivary glands) in the prothorax of males, but absent ...
Semiochemistry of the Bruchidae species
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-06)
The coleopteran insects of the Bruchidae family are one of the major pests of stored products like beans and leguminous seeds in general. Bruchids have co-evolved with the seeds of leguminous plants dealing with the toxic ...
Pheromone paths attached to the substrate in meliponine bees: helpful but not obligatory for recruitment success
(SPRINGER, 2011)
In contrast to marking of the location of resources or sexual partners using single-spot pheromone sources, pheromone paths attached to the substrate and assisting orientation are rarely found among flying organisms. ...
Sex-pairing pheromones and reproductive isolation in three sympatric Cornitermes species (Isoptera, Termitidae, Syntermitinae)
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)
The species-specificity of pairing has been studied in three sympatric Neotropical termites: Cornitermes bequaerti, Cornitermes cumulans and Cornitermes silvestrii (Termitidae, Syntermitinae). Bioassays showed that sex ...
Control of Neglected Disease Insect Vectors: Future Prospects for the Use of Tools Based on Behavior Manipulation-Interference
(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2015)
Mating-induced differential coding of plant odour and sex pheromone in a male moth
(Federation of European Neuroscience Societies, 2011-05)
Innate behaviours in animals can be influenced by several factors, such as the environment, experience, or physiological status. This behavioural plasticity originates from changes in the underlying neuronal substrate. A ...
Evaluation of porous silica glasses as insect pheromone dispensers
