Effect of Selecting Cereal Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Males by Age and Feeding Behavior on Nondiapause Progeny [PDF]
In a nondiapause culture of cereal leaf beetles, Oulema melanopus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), females ovipositing within 20 days after emergence were considered nondiapause.

Feeding-induced rearrangement of green leaf volatiles reduces moth oviposition
The ability to decrypt volatile plant signals is essential if herbivorous insects are to optimize their choice of host plants for their offspring. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) constitute a widespread group of defensive plant volatiles that convey a ...

The Waiting And Mating Game: Condition Dependent Mate Sampling In Female Gray Treefrogs (Hyla Versicolor) [PDF]
Strong sexual selection by receivers can lead to the evolution of elaborate courtship behaviors in signalers. However the process by which receivers sample signalers and execute mate choice under complex signaling conditions—and thus the realized ...
