Disruption Efficacy of Intelligent Active Aerosol Sex Pheromone on Mating Behavior of Major Lepidopteran Pests in Rice [PDF]
【Objective】 The continuous cropping system in mixed single- and double-season rice areas provides an uninterrupted food supply for the overwintering and subsequent 2-3 generations of Chilo suppressalis (Walker), leading to increased pest populations and ...

Estrogens Can Disrupt Amphibian Mating Behavior
The main component of classical contraceptives, 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), has high estrogenic activity even at environmentally relevant concentrations. Although estrogenic endocrine disrupting compounds are assumed to contribute to the worldwide decline of amphibian populations by adverse effects on sexual differentiation, evidence for EE2 affecting ...

Mating disrupts morning anticipation in Drosophila melanogaster females
Abstract After mating, the physiology of Drosophila females undergoes several important changes, some of which are reflected in their rest-activity cycles. To explore the hypothesis that mating modifies the temporal organization of locomotor activity patterns, we recorded the fly ...
