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.

Species-specific cuticular hydrocarbon stability within European Myrmica Ants [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2016 Recognition is a fundamental process on which all subsequent behaviors are based at every organizational level, from the gene up to the super-organism. At the whole organism level visual recognition is the best understood.

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 ...

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 ...

Cuticular Hydrocarbon Plasticity in Three Rice Planthopper Species [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are organic compounds of the surface lipid layer, which function as a barrier against water loss and xenobiotic penetration, while also serving as chemical signals. Plasticity of CHC profiles can vary depending upon numerous biological and environmental factors.

Mating has opposite effects on male and female sexually selected cuticular hydrocarbons [PDF]
, 2020 In Drosophila serrata flies, there is female choice for male cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles and male choice for female CHC profiles. Furthermore, both males and females can alter their CHCs: when there is more opportunity for mating, males express ...
