EFFECT OF GAMMA IRRADIATION ON PRODUCTION AND PERCEPTION OF SEX PHERMON IN THE BLACK CUTWORM, Agrotis ipsilon (HUFN) [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2007 The females of the black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon ( Hufn), produce their sex pheromone early at the beginning of their emergence. Males also can percept this pheromone at the same age.

Functional specificity of sex pheromone receptors in the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Male moths can accurately perceive the sex pheromone emitted from conspecific females by their highly accurate and specific olfactory sensory system. Pheromone receptors are of special importance in moth pheromone reception because of their central role ...

Sex Pheromone of the Alfalfa Plant Bug, Adelphocoris lineolatus: Pheromone Composition and Antagonistic Effect of 1- Hexanol (Hemiptera: Miridae) [PDF]
, 2021 The sex pheromone composition of alfalfa plant bugs, Adelphocoris lineolatus (Goeze, 1778), from Central Europe was investigated to test the hypothesis that insect species across a wide geographical area can vary in their pheromone composition. Potential

Attraction of Lutzomyia longipalpis to synthetic sex-aggregation pheromone: Effect of release rate and proximity of adjacent pheromone sources. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 In South America, the Protist parasite that causes visceral leishmaniasis, a potentially fatal human disease, is transmitted by blood-feeding female Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies.

Pheromone Receptor Knock-Out Affects Pheromone Detection and Brain Structure in a Moth
Biomolecules, 2022 Sex pheromone receptors are crucial in insects for mate finding and contribute to species premating isolation. Many pheromone receptors have been functionally characterized, especially in moths, but loss of function studies are rare.

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
, 2009 In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

European Journal of Entomology, 2008 We have studied the effect of different light gradient regimes on host-plant selection of the carrot psyllid, Trioza apicalis Förster. In both a strong and a weak light gradient, carrot psyllids preferred a carrot leaf placed in higher light intensity ...

Sex pheromone evolution is associated with differential regulation of the same desaturase gene in two genera of leafroller moths. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Chemical signals are prevalent in sexual communication systems. Mate recognition has been extensively studied within the Lepidoptera, where the production and recognition of species-specific sex pheromone signals are typically the defining character ...

Current Biology, 2017 The reality of invisible chemical signals, pheromones, between members of the same species was recognized long before they could be identified. Charles Darwin proposed that the breeding season sexual smells of male crocodiles, goats and other animals, too, could have evolved by sexual selection of the smelliest males through female choice. But it's not

Journal of Forest Science, 2017 This article examines the relative efficacy of releasing a larger pheromone plume volume and the relative efficacy of the number of pheromone dispensers within baited traps in trapping the spruce bark beetle.
