A pheromone from cuticular hydrocarbons regulates mating behavior in the hoverfly Eupeodes corollae

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Mating behavior is crucial for most insects, as it is closely tied to reproduction and population growth and relies heavily on chemical communication via cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) between individuals.

Field testing of different chemical combinations as odour baits for trapping wild mosquitoes in The Gambia. [PDF]

, 2011
Odour baited traps have potential use in population surveillance of insect vectors of disease, and in some cases for vector population reduction. Established attractants for human host-seeking mosquitoes include a combination of CO(2) with L-lactic acid ...

Drosophila Mutant Model of Parkinson’s Disease Revealed an Unexpected Olfactory Performance: Morphofunctional Evidences

Parkinson's Disease, 2016
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the clinical triad: tremor, akinesia, and rigidity. Several studies have suggested that PD patients show disturbances in olfaction as one of the earliest ...

The role of plant odours in the leafminer Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and its parasitoid Diglyphus isaea (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae): Orientation towards the host habitat

European Journal of Entomology, 2002
Electroantennogram responses of the polyphagous leafminer Liriomyza sativae and its generalist parasitoid Diglyphus isaea to host and non-host plant odours of L. sativae were investigated. The odours of healthy leaves can elicit distinct EAG responses in

Characterization of the electroantennogram in Drosophila melanogaster and its use for identifying olfactory capture and transduction mutants

, 1991
1. Amplitude as well as time course of the electroantennogram (EAG) in Drosophila has been used for describing electrical changes produced in the antenna in response to odorous stimulation. 2.
