Aphid alarm pheromone as a cue for ants to locate aphid partners. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The mutualistic relationships that occur between myrmecophilous aphids and ants are based on the rich food supply that honeydew represents for ants and on the protection they provide against aphid natural enemies.

Insects, 2014 Female moths are known to detect their own sex pheromone—a phenomenon called “autodetection”. Autodetection has various effects on female moth behavior, including altering natural circadian rhythm of calling behavior, inducing flight, and in some cases ...

Identification and biological activity of sex pheromone components from females of the plum moth Illiberis rotundata Jordan (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae: Procridinae) [PDF]
, 2009 The plum moth, Illiberis rotundata Jordan (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae: Procridinae), is a pest of orchards in Japan and China. Few chemical ecological studies have been directed towards the Zygaenidae and particularly the Procridinae. To investigate the sex

Structure elucidation of some insect pheromones : a contribution to the development of selective pest control agents [PDF]
, 1977 The use of pheromones is one of the methods currently being investigated intensively as an alternative method of insect control. The various ways in which pheromones might be used in insect control programmes are briefly discussed in Chapter 1.Chapter 2 ...

Natural Variation in Dauer Pheromone Production and Sensing Supports Intraspecific Competition in Nematodes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 Dauer formation, a major nematode survival strategy, represents a model for small-molecule regulation of metazoan development [1-10]. Free-living nematodes excrete dauer-inducing pheromones that have been assumed to target conspecifics of the same genotype [9, 11].

The effect of the aphid sex pheromone on the aphid Myzus persicae and its parasitoid Aphidius colemani [PDF]
, 2012 Aphids remain an enormous threat to the sustainability of crops in glasshouse and field environments around the world. It is known that the aphid sex pheromone is used as a kairomone by its natural enemies, such as parasitoids. The focus of this research
