Cuticular Hydrocarbons of Orchid Bees Males: Interspecific and Chemotaxonomy Variation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Recent studies have investigated the composition of compounds that cover the cuticle in social insects, but few studies have focused on solitary bees.

Cuticular hydrocarbons for the identification and geographic assignment of empty puparia of forensically important flies. [PDF]

Int J Legal Med, 2022
Research in social insects has shown that hydrocarbons on their cuticle are species-specific. This has also been proven for Diptera and is a promising tool for identifying important fly taxa in Forensic Entomology.

Cuticular hydrocarbons are associated with mating success and insecticide resistance in malaria vectors [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2021
In this study, Adams et al. investigate the effect of cuticular hydrocarbons on mating success in natural mosquito mating swarms. These hydrocarbons confer both higher mating success and increased resistance to pyrethroid, suggesting sexual selection for

Evolution of Cuticular Hydrocarbons in the Hymenoptera: a Meta-Analysis [PDF]

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2015
Chemical communication is the oldest form of communication, spreading across all forms of life. In insects, cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC) function as chemical cues for the recognition of mates, species, and nest-mates in social insects. Although much is known about the function of individual hydrocarbons and their biosynthesis, a phylogenetic overview ...

The Cuticular Hydrocarbons Profiles in the Colonial Recognition of the Neotropical Eusocial Wasp, Mischocyttarus cassununga (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) [PDF]

Sociobiology, 2015
Cuticular hydrocarbons are chemical messengers with fundamental role in information transfer on the nestmate recognition, physical or behavioral caste, age, task specialization and reproductive status among individuals of colony.

Adaptive dynamics of cuticular hydrocarbons in Drosophila [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2016
AbstractCuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are hydrophobic compounds deposited on the arthropod cuticle that are of functional significance with respect to stress tolerance, social interactions and mating dynamics. We characterized CHC profiles in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster at five levels: across a latitudinal transect in the eastern ...

A shift to shorter cuticular hydrocarbons accompanies sexual isolation among Drosophila americana group populations [PDF]

Evolution Letters, 2021
Because sensory signals often evolve rapidly, they could be instrumental in the emergence of reproductive isolation between species. However, pinpointing their specific contribution to isolating barriers, and the mechanisms underlying their divergence ...

Differences in the reliance on cuticular hydrocarbons as sexual signaling and species discrimination cues in parasitoid wasps [PDF]

Front Zool, 2018
Background Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC) have been documented to play crucial roles as species- and sex-specific cues in the chemical communication systems of a wide variety of insects.

Preliminary Study on the Differences in Hydrocarbons Between Phosphine-Susceptible and -Resistant Strains of Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) Using Direct Immersion Solid-Phase Microextraction Coupled with GC-MS

Molecules, 2020
Phosphine resistance is a worldwide issue threatening the grain industry. The cuticles of insects are covered with a layer of lipids, which protect insect bodies from the harmful effects of pesticides.

Cuticular Hydrocarbon Analysis in Forensic Entomology [PDF]

Forensic Archaeology, Anthropology and Ecology, 2019
Blowflies are the first inhabitants of decomposing remains and are therefore of forensic relevance for post mortem interval estimations. Forensic entomology is becoming widely accepted as a branch of forensic science and is being utilised more within forensic casework. This wider use has driven an increase in research being carried out within the field,
