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

open access: yesJ Chem Ecol, 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 ...

Cuticular Hydrocarbon Analysis in Forensic Entomology [PDF]

open access: yesForensic 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,

Sexual selection on song and cuticular hydrocarbons in two distinct populations of Drosophila montana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sexual selection has the potential to contribute to population divergence and speciation. Most studies of sexual selection in Drosophila have concentrated on a single signaling modality, usually either courtship song or cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs ...

The desaturase gene family : an evolutionary study of putative speciation genes in 12 species of Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The formation and persistence of species are the subject of much debate among biologists. Many species of Drosophila are behaviourally isolated, meaning that heterospecific individuals are not attracted to one another and do not interbreed.

Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation of Castes and Sex in the Weaver Ant Camponotus textor (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
Cuticular hydrocarbons play important roles as chemical signatures of individuals, castes, sex and brood. They also can mediate the regulation of egg laying in ants, by informing directly or indirectly the reproductive status of queens.

Incipient speciation in Drosophila melanogaster involves chemical signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The sensory and genetic bases of incipient speciation between strains of Drosophila melanogaster from Zimbabwe and those from elsewhere are unknown. We studied mating behaviour between eight strains - six from Zimbabwe, together with two cosmopolitan ...

Are differences in hydrocarbon profiles able to mediate strain recognition in German cockroaches (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae)?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2002
Previous behavioural tests indicated that strain recognition and aggregation behaviour could be induced by cuticular hydrocarbons. The aim of this study was to document and to compare cuticular hydrocarbon profiles between different strains of Blattella ...

Cuticular component analysis for discrimination of Aedes aegypti (diptera: culicidae) from seven localities in South Kalimantan

open access: yesJournal of Biological Researches, 2008
Cuticular components of female Aedes aegypti from seven localities (populations) in South Kalimantan were compared. Mosquitoes from four populations of Banjarmasin, and one population each of Pelaihari, Barabai, and Kotabaru were sampled.

Conserved queen pheromones in bumblebees: a reply to Amsalem et al. [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
In a recent study, Amsalem, Orlova & Grozinger (2015) performed experiments with Bombus impatiens bumblebees to test the hypothesis that saturated cuticular hydrocarbons are evolutionarily conserved signals used to regulate reproductive division of labor
