Modelling Sand Fly Lutzomyia longipalpis Attraction to Host Odour: Synthetic Sex-Aggregation Pheromone Dominates the Response [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Zoontic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL) due to Leishmania infantum is a potentially fatal protozoan parasitic disease of humans and dogs. In the Americas, dogs are the reservoir and the sand fly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, the principal vector.

Monoterpenyl esters in juvenile mountain pine beetle and sex-specific release of the aggregation pheromone trans-verbenol. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance trans-Verbenol is a critical aggregation pheromone of the female mountain pine beetle. It is derived from a compound of the host defense, the monoterpene α-pinene. We found that beetles accumulate monoterpenyl esters during early life stages.

Identification of Esters as Novel Aggregation Pheromone Components Produced by the Male Powder-Post Beetle, Lyctus africanus Lesne (Coleoptera: Lyctinae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Lyctus africanus is a cosmopolitan powder-post beetle that is considered one of the major pests threatening timber and timber products. Because infestations of this beetle are inconspicuous, damage is difficult to detect and identification is often ...

Aggregation pheromone 4-vinylanisole promotes the synchrony of sexual maturation in female locusts
bioRxiv, 2021 Reproductive synchrony generally occurs in various group-living animals; however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Here, we report that aggregation pheromone, 4-vinylanisole, plays a key role in promoting sexual maturation synchrony ...
