Volatile Cues Influence Host-Choice in Arthropod Pests [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Many arthropod pests of humans and other animals select their preferred hosts by recognising volatile odour compounds contained in the hosts’ ‘volatilome’.

Aquilaria sinensis: An Upstart Resource for Cucurbitacin Production Offers Insights into the Origin of Plant Bitter (Bi) Gene Clusters [PDF]
PlantsCucurbitacins, oxygenated tetracyclic triterpenoids that are found mainly in the Cucurbitaceae family, play essential roles as defensive compounds, serving as allomones against herbivores and pathogens and as signals for insect–parasite recognition ...

Behavioral responses to odors from other species: introducing a complementary model of allelochemics involving vertebrates [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 It has long been known that the behavior of an animal can be affected by odors from another species. Such interspecific effects of odorous compounds (allelochemics) are usually characterized according to who benefits (emitter, receiver, or both) and the ...

Tree resin composition, collection behavior and selective filters shape chemical profiles of tropical bees (Apidae: Meliponini). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The diversity of species is striking, but can be far exceeded by the chemical diversity of compounds collected, produced or used by them. Here, we relate the specificity of plant-consumer interactions to chemical diversity applying a comparative network ...

Response of chrysopids (Neuroptera) to larval tracks of aphidophagous coccinellids (Coleoptera)
European Journal of Entomology, 2001 Choice tests showed that tracks left by coccinellid larvae have generally little effect on oviposition site selection by chrysopid females. Fresh tracks of first instar larvae of the coccinellid species Coccinella septempunctata, Cycloneda limbifer, Leis
