Peripheral, central and behavioral responses to the cuticular pheromone bouquet in Drosophila melanogaster males. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Pheromonal communication is crucial with regard to mate choice in many animals including insects. Drosophila melanogaster flies produce a pheromonal bouquet with many cuticular hydrocarbons some of which diverge between the sexes and differently affect ...

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 ...

Cuticular profiling of insecticide resistant Aedes aegypti
Scientific Reports, 2023 Insecticides have made great strides in reducing the global burden of vector-borne disease. Nonetheless, serious public health concerns remain because insecticide-resistant vector populations continue to spread globally.

Chemically Insignificant Social Parasites Exhibit More Anti-Dehydration Behaviors than Their Hosts
Insects, 2021 Social parasites have evolved adaptations to overcome host resistance as they infiltrate host colonies and establish there. Among the chemical adaptations, a few species are chemically “insignificant”; they are poor in recognition cues (cuticular ...

Caste differentiation in lower termites [PDF]
, 2010 Social insects are prominent model organisms of evolutionary biology. Their castes are an example of phenotypic plasticity and differential gene expression produces strong differences among their traits.

Chemosensory sensitivity reflects reproductive status in the ant Harpegnathos saltator
Scientific Reports, 2017 Insects communicate with pheromones using sensitive antennal sensilla. Although trace amounts of pheromones can be detected by many insects, context-dependent increased costs of high sensitivity might lead to plasticity in sensillum responsiveness.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981 The cuticular hydrocarbons of diapausing pupae of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (L.), are composed of two types of hydrocarbons: n-alkanes (3%) and unsaturated hydrocarbons (97%).

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Apolipophorins are carrier proteins that bind lipids and mediate their transport from tissue to tissue in animals. Apolipophorin I and II (apoLp-II/I) are the major apolipophorins in insects.
