Pheromone Autodetection: Evidence and Implications
Insects, 2016 Olfactory communication research with insects utilizing sex pheromones has focused on the effects of pheromones on signal receivers. Early pheromone detection studies using the silkworm moth, Bombyx mori L., and Saturniids led to the assumption that ...

Temperature stressed males are less attractive to female red flour beetles [PDF]
, 2018 Male red flour beetles (Tribolium castaneum) are shown to attract females through an aggression pheromone that may be altered due to varying degrees of stress (Wade, 1984).

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

10-Methyldodecanal, a Novel Attractant Pheromone Produced by Males of the South American Cerambycid Beetle Eburodacrys vittata. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We report the identification, synthesis, and field bioassay of a novel attractant pheromone produced by males of Eburodacrys vittata (Blanchard), a South American cerambycid beetle in the subfamily Cerambycinae. Headspace volatiles from males contained a

Analysis of a chemotaxis system modeling ant foraging
, 2015 In this paper we analyze a system of PDEs recently introduced in [P. Amorim, {\it Modeling ant foraging: a {chemotaxis} approach with pheromones and trail formation}], in order to describe the dynamics of ant foraging.

Aggregation Pheromone Activity of the Female Sex Pheromone, β-Acaridial, in Caloglyphus polyphyllae (Acari: Acaridae) [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2001 Caloglyphus (=Sancasania) polyphyllae discharges from a pair of opisthonotal glands a characteristic set of volatiles, i.e. three monoterpenes and seven hydrocarbons. Among them, β-acaridial, which is known as the female sex pheromone of the species and has antifungal activity, was newly identified as the aggregation pheromone for unfeeding and ...

Building Blocks as Experiences in Dynamic Capacitated Arc Routing Problems
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic capacitated arc routing problem (DCARP) aims to update the service paths of vehicles in the capacitated arc routing problem when uncertain factors deteriorate the current schedule of vehicles' services. A DCARP scenario comprises a series of DCARP instances that share similarities with each other. Therefore, optimisation experience
