Burrow ornamentation in the fiddler crab (Uca leptodactyla): female mate choice and male–male competition
(2016-09-02)
Non-biological ornamentation is found in the nests and burrows of different kinds of animals. We evaluated here whether sand hoods constructed by male fiddler crabs (Uca leptodactyla) are one of the signals used by males ...
The attraction trick: males in early stages of disease become more chemically attractive to Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) females
(2021-01-01)
In aquatic systems, olfaction plays an important role in acquiring information about the social environment and influences important behaviours in various contexts, including predator avoidance, foraging, aggressive and ...
A laboratory evaluation of alcohols as attractants for the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae)
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2014-02-06)
Background: The potential attraction from 1-octen-3-ol for sandflies has been documented; however, studies using other primary alcohols are limited.Findings: We used a wind tunnel to compare the activation and attractive ...
Attractant, sexual competitiveness enhancing and toxic activities of the essential oils from Baccharis spartioides and Schinus polygama on Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann
(Elsevier Science, 2014-12)
The sterile insect technique is currently used to control the fruit fly pest, Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann. The problem with this technique is a decreased sexual competitiveness of the sterile males. We tested the semiochemical ...
Evidence for differential maternal allocation to eggs in relation to manipulated male attractiveness in the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca)
(SPRINGER, 2006-10)
We present evidence of differential maternal allocation to eggs in response to manipulated male attractiveness in the migratory pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca). We manipulated the size of a male secondary sexual trait, ...

Attraction of the sand fly Nyssomyia neivai (Diptera: Psychodidae) to chemical compounds in a wind tunnel
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2015-03-07)
Background: Similar to other hematophagous insects, male and female sand flies must feed on plants to obtain sugar and, subsequently, energy to complete their life cycles. A large number of compounds emitted by plants may ...

On the Production, Mating and Behavior of Males in Synoeca surinama (Vespidae: Polistinae: Epiponini)
(Univ Estadual Feira Santana, 2020-09-01)
In colonies of Neotropical swarm-founding wasps (Epiponini), males are thought to be produced only in periods when there are many queens present. Little information is available regarding male behavior in and out of the ...
Identification of the Female Sex Pheromone of the Leafroller Proeulia triquetra Obraztsov (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
(Entomological Society of Brazil, 2016)
Proeulia triquetra Obraztsov (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is an occasional pest in fruit orchards in central-southern Chile. In order to develop species-specific lures for detection and monitoring of this species, we identified ...
