Using Chemical Ecology to Enhance Weed Biological Control [PDF]
Insects, 2021 In agricultural systems, chemical ecology and the use of semiochemicals have become critical components of integrated pest management. The categories of semiochemicals that have been used include sex pheromones, aggregation pheromones, and plant volatile

Reverse chemical ecology approach for the identification of an oviposition attractant for Culex quinquefasciatus. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Pheromones and other semiochemicals play a crucial role in today's integrated pest and vector management strategies. These semiochemicals are typically discovered by bioassay-guided approaches.

The Chemical Ecology of Elephants: 21st Century Additions to Our Understanding and Future Outlooks. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2021 Simple Summary Among all taxa, messages transmitted via chemical signals are the oldest and most universal. For Asian and African elephants, odors convey information between individuals, and between elephants and their environment.

Reverse chemical ecology in a moth: machine learning on odorant receptors identifies new behaviorally active agonists. [PDF]
Cell Mol Life Sci, 2021 The concept of reverse chemical ecology (exploitation of molecular knowledge for chemical ecology) has recently emerged in conservation biology and human health. Here, we extend this concept to crop protection.

Exploiting chemical ecology to manage hyperparasitoids in biological control of arthropod pests. [PDF]
Pest Manag Sci, 2020 Insect hyperparasitoids are fourth trophic level organisms that commonly occur in terrestrial food webs, yet they are relatively understudied. These top‐carnivores can disrupt biological pest control by suppressing the populations of their parasitoid ...
