Ants use partner specific odors to learn to recognize a mutualistic partner. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Regulation via interspecific communication is an important for the maintenance of many mutualisms. However, mechanisms underlying the evolution of partner communication are poorly understood for many mutualisms. Here we show, in an ant-lycaenid butterfly

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

Sociobiology, 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]
, 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 ...

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

European 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 ...

How to coexist with fire ants: The roles of behaviour and cuticular compounds [PDF]
, 2013 tBecause territoriality is energetically costly, territorial animals frequently respond less aggressively toneighbours than to strangers, a reaction known as the “dear enemy phenomenon” (DEP).

Journal 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]
PeerJ, 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

The causes and consequences of reproductive interference in the Lygaeidae [PDF]
, 2015 Electronic version excludes material for which permission has not been granted by the rights holderReproductive interference occurs when individuals direct sexual behaviours towards other species and this causes a reduction in the fitness of one or both ...
