It has long been known that the behavior of an animal can be affected by odors from another species. Such interspecific effects of odorous compounds (allelochemics) are usually characterized according to who benefits (emitter, receiver, or both) and the ...

Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte in confrontation mood : simultaneous geographical and host spectrum expansion in southeastern Slovenia [PDF]
Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, in its original North American habitat also known as western corn rootworm beetle, actively continues its expansion to new territories and uses Homo sapiens as its prime vector.

ABSTRACT A series of terminological, technical, conceptual, and statistical challenges present themselves when trying to study correlations between measures of performance abilities (what an animal can do) and behavioural traits (what an animal chooses to do).

A male-produced aggregation-sex pheromone of the beetle Arhopalus rusticus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae, Spondylinae) may be useful in managing this invasive species. [PDF]
The longhorned beetle Arhopalus rusticus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae, Spondylinae) is a common species in conifer forests of the Northern Hemisphere, but with global trade, it has invaded and become established in New Zealand, Australia, and South America.

Operational sex ratio bias due to sex‐specific cohort splitting in response to predation
Abstract The operational sex ratio (OSR), that is, the local ratio of fertilizable females to sexually active males at any given time, is of key importance for the strength of sexual selection and the reproduction of populations. We hypothesize that sex‐specific cohort splitting, that is, when one sex mostly metamorphoses while the other mostly enters ...

The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector
Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.

Vibrational Signals for Mating Disruption Do Not Negatively Affect Grapevine Growth and Production
Vibrational mating disruption (VMD) is a promising strategy to control Scaphoideus titanus populations in vineyards, and it is based on the prolonged application of a species‐specific disturbance vibrational signal (DVS) on grapevines. Plants can react by different transcriptional, physiological, and morphological changes, according to the source and ...
