Repellency of Essential Oils and Plant-Derived Compounds Against Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes

Insects
Plant-based oils have a long history of use as insect repellents. In an earlier study, we showed that in a 10% concentration, geraniol, 2-phenylethl propionate, and the plant-based essential oils clove and cinnamon effectively protected from mosquito ...

Differentiation of action mechanisms between natural and synthetic repellents through neuronal electroantennogram and proteomic in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Scientific Reports, 2022
Natural-based compounds with repellent activity arise nowadays with the possibility to replace commercial synthetic repellents wholly or partially, such as N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET). It is due to DEET's demonstrated toxicity and cutaneous irritation

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Ticks home in on body heat: A new understanding of Haller's organ and repellent action.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Ticks are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of disease to humans and animals. Tick host detection is mainly ascribed to Haller's organ, a complex sensory structure on the tick foreleg that detects odors, carbon dioxide and heat, but these host ...

Stereochemical Control in the Matteson Reaction

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The Matteson homologation is a highly versatile method for the stereoselective insertion of carbenoids into boronic esters. Through iterative application of the process, complex chiral molecules can be synthesized. The stereoselectivity of the reaction is determined by a chiral diol incorporated in the boronic ester.

Hydride Materials for Advanced Electrochemical Energy Storage: Progress and Perspectives

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Hydrides are emerging as functional materials for low‐carbon electrochemical energy storage. Complex hydrides provide polyanionic electrolyte frameworks for all‐solid‐state, Li–S, and multivalent batteries; hydride ion conductors enable H− transport for emerging hydride‐based cells; and metal hydrides offer established electrode chemistries for Ni–MH ...

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.
