Cuticular hydrocarbons for identifying Sarcophagidae (Diptera) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The composition and quantity of insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) can be species-specific as well as sexually dimorphic within species. CHC analysis has been previously used for identification and ageing purposes for several insect orders including ...

Drosophila Cuticular Hydrocarbons Revisited: Mating Status Alters Cuticular Profiles [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Most living organisms use pheromones for inter-individual communication. In Drosophila melanogaster flies, several pheromones perceived either by contact/at a short distance (cuticular hydrocarbons, CHs), or at a longer distance (cis-vaccenyl acetate ...

Cuticular hydrocarbons of Chagas disease vectors in Mexico [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002 Capillary gas-liquid chromatography was used to analyse the cuticular hydrocarbons of three triatomine species, Triatoma dimidiata, T. barberi and Dipetalogaster maxima, domestic vectors of Chagas disease in Mexico.

Insect Cuticular Hydrocarbons as Dynamic Traits in Sexual Communication [PDF]
Insects, 2015 Recent research has demonstrated extensive within-species variation in pheromone expression in insect species, contrary to the view that pheromones are largely invariant within species.

Characterizing Honeybee Cuticular Hydrocarbons During Foraging
Sociobiology, 2019 Honeybees (Apis mellifera) adjust their time and effort during foraging activity. Their metabolic rates together with body temperature rise while gathering profitable resources.

Cuticular Hydrocarbon Polymorphism in a Parasitoid Wasp
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2023 AbstractCuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are major constituents of the cuticular lipid layer of insects. They serve not only as a barrier to desiccation, but often additionally mediate communication at close range. The compositions of the CHC profiles, i.e., the specific compounds and their relative amounts, usually differ between species.

Cuticular hydrocarbons of triatomines [PDF]
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2007 Triatomine insects (Hemiptera) are the vectors of Chagas disease. Their cuticular surface is covered by a thin layer of lipids, mainly hydrocarbons, wax esters, fatty alcohols, and free or esterified fatty acids. These lipids play a major role in preventing a lethal desiccation, altering the absorption of chemicals and microorganism penetration, they ...

Agriculture, 2022 Cuticular wax plays a critical role as a plant protectant against various environmental stresses. We predicted that the presence of the mutualistic fungal endophyte Epichloë gansuensis in Achnatherum inebrians would change both the composition of leaf ...

Cuticle hydrocarbons in saline aquatic beetles [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Hydrocarbons are the principal component of insect cuticle and play an important role in maintaining water balance. Cuticular impermeability could be an adaptative response to salinity and desiccation in aquatic insects; however, cuticular hydrocarbons ...
