Cuticular hydrocarbons fromVarroa jacobsoni

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 1992
The cuticular hydrocarbons fromVarroa mites collected in Florida and Italy and their honeybee hosts were characterized by gas chromatography (GC) and by coupled GC-mass spectrometry (MS). AVarroa mite has a hydrocarbon pattern that is qualitatively identical to that of its honeybee host.

A simple method for analysis of insect cuticular hydrocarbons

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1990
Cuticular hydrocarbons from tiny pieces of insect cuticle can be analyzed directly by gas chromatography without solvent. The cuticle, sealed in a glass capillary, is introduced into the heated injector area of a gas Chromatograph, and the glass capillary crushed after heating for 4 min.

A developmental study of the cuticular hydrocarbons of Sarcophaga bullata

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1975
Abstract The accumulation of cuticular hydrocarbon was measured throughout the life of Sarcophaga bullata. Less than 5 μg hydrocarbon per insect are present until the third larval instar when synthesis increases the quantity present to 10 to 20 μg by pupariation.

Regulation of insect cuticular hydrocarbon biosynthesis

Current Opinion in Insect Science
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) play pleiotropic roles in insect survival and reproduction. They prevent desiccation and function as pheromones influencing different behaviors. While the genes in the CHC biosynthesis pathway have been extensively studied, the regulatory mechanisms that lead to different CHC compositions received far less attention.

Cuticular hydrocarbons of the sunflower beetle, Zygogramma exclamationis

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2003
Hydrocarbons were the major lipid class on the cuticular surface of adults, nymphs, and eggs of the sunflower beetle, Zygogramma exclamationis, characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Minor amounts of wax ester from 40 to 48 carbon atoms in size were only detected in larvae.

Phenotypic Plasticity of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Profiles in Insects

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2018
The insect integument is covered by cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) which provide protection against environmental stresses, but are also used for communication. Here we review current knowledge on environmental and insect-internal factors which shape phenotypic plasticity of solitary living insects, especially herbivorous ones.

Cuticular Hydrocarbons and Aggression in the Termite Macrotermes Subhyalinus

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2004
Cuticular hydrocarbons are among the prime candidates for nestmate recognition in social insects. We analyzed the variation of cuticular hydrocarbons in the termite species M. subhyalinus in West Africa (Comoë National Park) on a small spatial scale (< 1 km).

Cuticular Hydrocarbons of Termites of the Hawaiian Islands

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2000
Seven species of termites (Isoptera) belonging to three families are found in the Hawaiian Islands. The Kalotermitidae include Neotermes connexus Snyder, Cryptotermes brevis (Walker), Cryptotermes cynocephalus Light, Incisitermes immigrans Snyder, and the recently introduced Incisitermes minor (Hagen).
