Phenotypic Plasticity of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Profiles in Insects
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2018The 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.

Location-Specific Cuticular Hydrocarbon Signals in a Social Insect [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 Social insects use cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) to convey different social signals, including colony or nest identity. Despite extensive investigations, the exact source and identity of CHCs that act as nest-specific identification signals remain largely unknown.

Cuticular Hydrocarbons of Termites of the Hawaiian Islands
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2000Seven 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).

The composition of cuticular hydrocarbons of the Tribolium destructor
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1989Abstract 1. 1. The hydrocarbons from the Tribolium destructor consist of n -alkanes, 3-methylalkanes, internally branched alkanes (4-, 5-, 11- 12- and 13-methylalkanes), dimethylalkanes, pentadecen-1 and C 14 –C 17 alkadienes. 2. 2. The pentadecen-1 and alkadienes occur most probably in defense secretion as in the case of other species ...

Cuticular Hydrocarbons of Grasshoppers From the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2000Cuticular lipids of adult Schistocerca literosa, Schistocerca melanocera and Halmenus robustus were analyzed. They have a similar range of hydrocarbons to those previously reported for other grasshoppers, but contain significant amounts of squalene which has not previously been reported from grasshopper cuticle.

The pheromonal role of cuticular hydrocarbons in Drosophila melanogaster
BioEssays, 1997AbstractPheromones play a curcial role in mate stimulation and discrimination. In the fruit fly Drosophila, the most abundant cuticular hydrocarbons act as sex pheromones during courtship behavior. There are several active molecules and they compose a sex‐ and species‐specific pheromonal bouquet.

Cuticular Hydrocarbons: Their Evolution and Roles in Drosophila Pheromonal Communication
Behavior Genetics, 2005I review the recent literature on cuticular hydrocarbons (CHs) in Drosophila. First, the major structural features of CHs are examined in a variety of species with regard to phylogeny. The genetic bases of the CH variation between and within species have been investigated with some of the genes involved characterized and manipulated.
