Contact chemoreceptive mate recognition in Cerambyx welensii Küster (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Mediación de la quimiorrecepción por contacto en el apareamiento en Cerambyx welensii Küster (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 622-636, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Cerambyx welensii Küster (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a wood‐borer responsible for the decline of Mediterranean oaks in open woodlands. To establish that contact pheromones are involved in mate recognition of C. welensii, we extracted the cuticular hydrocarbons by solid phase microextraction at pre‐reproductive, beginning and ending of the ...

Ecological convergence in phytochemistry and flower–insect visitor interactions along an Andean elevation gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
In this study, we detected patterns of ecological convergence along elevation in floral volatiles as well as cost–benefit ratio in seed versus pollinated seeds. Our results suggest that these evolutionary patterns are the result of biotic and abiotic pressures.

The effect of a mixed cannabidiol and cannabidiolic acid based oil on client‐owned dogs with atopic dermatitis

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 329-e77, August 2022., 2022
Background– Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) are reported to have antinociceptive, immunomodulatory and anti‐inflammatory actions. Objectives – To determine if CBD/CBDA is an effective therapy for canine atopic dermatitis (cAD). Conclusions and clinical relevance – Cannabidiol/CBDA as an adjunct therapy decreased pruritus, and not skin ...
