The Octopamine Receptor Is a Possible Target for Eugenol-Induced Hyperactivity in the Blood-Sucking Bug Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(Entomological Society of America, 2019-10)
Eugenol is a major component of the essential oils in cloves and other aromatic plants. In insects, it produces toxic effects and repellency, and there is evidence that its site of action is the octopamine receptor. The ...
Octopamine Neuromodulation Regulates Gr32a-Linked Aggression and Courtship Pathways in Drosophila Males
(Public Library Of Science, 2014-05)
Chemosensory pheromonal information regulates aggression and reproduction in many species, but how pheromonal signals are transduced to reliably produce behavior is not well understood. Here we demonstrate that the ...
Individual aggressiveness in the crab Chasmagnathus: Influence in fight outcome and modulation by serotonin and octopamine
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010-11)
In a previous work we found that size-matched Chasmagnathus crabs establish winner-loser relationships that were stable over successive encounters but no evidence of escalation was revealed through fights. Here, we evaluated ...
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, ...
