Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Red Flour Beetle Response to Traps with Prior Captures [PDF]
, 2018 The red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) is a major pest of food facilities such as flour mills and is often monitored using pitfall type traps with a food oil and pheromone attractant.

Of Pheromones and Kairomones: What Receptors Mediate Innate Emotional Responses? [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2013 ABSTRACTSome chemicals elicit innate emotionally laden behavioral responses. Pheromones mediate sexual attraction, parental care or agonistic confrontation, whereas predators' kairomones elicit defensive behaviors in their preys. This essay explores the hypothesis that the detection of these semiochemicals relies on highly specific olfactory and/or ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The search for mates and food is mediated by volatile chemicals. Insects sense food odorants and sex pheromones through odorant receptors (ORs) and pheromone receptors (PRs), which are expressed in olfactory sensory neurons.

Grouping of Red Flour Beetles using two Different Strains [PDF]
, 2018 In this research project I studied how the Red Flour Beetle grouped over a 10 day time period with two different strains of the Beetle. One strain was the Canadian Red Flour Beetle and the other was the Manhattan, KS Red Flour Beetle. The grouping of the

Density-dependent adjustment of inducible defenses [PDF]
, 2015 International audiencePredation is a major factor driving evolution, and organisms have evolved adaptations increasing their survival chances. However, most defenses incur trade-offs between benefits and costs.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Predation Risk Perception in Daphnia carinata Induced by the Milt of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) [PDF]
, 2010 Numerous experimental studies suggest that many organisms can sense predation risk and subsequently adjust their life history, behavior, and morphology as adaptations to predators.
