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.

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.

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.

A model-based analysis of chemical and temporal patterns of cuticular hydrocarbons in male Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Drosophila Cuticular Hydrocarbons (CH) influence courtship behaviour, mating, aggregation, oviposition, and resistance to desiccation. We measured levels of 24 different CH compounds of individual male D.

Sexual selection on cuticular hydrocarbons in the Australian field cricket,
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Females in a wide range of taxa have been shown to base their choice of mates on pheromone signals. However, little research has focussed specifically on the form and intensity of selection that mate choice imposes on the pheromone signal ...

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.

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 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 ...
