Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 371-389, February 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants use physical barriers and chemical compounds to defend themselves against natural enemies. For instance, tough leaves are considered to be better defended than soft leaves, part of a spectrum of defences defined by functional traits such as leaf chemistry ...

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 343-355, February 2025.Distressed Camponotus modoc carpenter ants emit alarm pheromone and produce vibratory alarm signals. Presented as a monomodal signal, the pheromone attracts nestmates, whereas vibratory signals cause nestmates to “freeze” or to run fast. Sensing a bimodal signal complex, nestmates are less attracted to pheromone but stay “frozen” longer which seems ...

Musa acuminata pseudostem extract on the control of Atta sexdens rubropilosa
Bioscience Journal, 2019 Currently, few active principles are authorized by the forest certification for the control of insect pests, with which it is necessary to develop new products, mainly aiming at lower environmental impact. The plants are able to develop substances called secondary metabolites, widely studied as an alternative form of pest control.

Microscopy Research and Technique, Volume 87, Issue 10, Page 2275-2291, October 2024.An evident sexual dimorphism concerning antennae length, types, number, and distribution of chemosensilla is shown. Long sensilla basiconica are present in females and could play a role in the host location and/or maternal care. Multiporous sensilla chaetica, longer and mostly represented in males, could play a role in intraspecific relationships ...
