Potential application of the bumblebee foraging recruitment pheromone for commercial greenhouse pollination [PDF]
, 2009 Commercial bumblebee colonies are important crop pollinators. Here we assess whether application of artificial foraging recruitment pheromone can increase foraging activity in Bombus terrestris colonies on a relevant timescale for commercial pollination.

Pheromone Discrimination by the Pheromone-Binding Protein of Bombyx mori [PDF]
Structure, 2006 Pheromone-binding proteins are postulated to contribute to the exquisite specificity of the insect's olfactory system, acting as a filter by preferentially binding only one of the components of the natural pheromone. Here, we investigated the possible discrimination of the two very similar components of the natural pheromone gland from the silk moth ...

An ant colony genetic fusion routing algorithm based on soft define network
IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Aiming at the problem that there are many paths in data forwarding in soft define network (SDN) network, and the optimal path is difficult to find, combined with the advantages of ant colony algorithm and Genetic algorithm (GA), a routing control strategy based on the ant colony genetic fusion algorithm is proposed.

Ant trail pheromone biosynthesis is triggered by a neuropeptide hormone.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Our understanding of insect chemical communication including pheromone identification, synthesis, and their role in behavior has advanced tremendously over the last half-century.

eLife, 2021 The pheromone system of heliothine moths is an optimal model for studying principles underlying higher-order olfactory processing. In Helicoverpa armigera, three male-specific glomeruli receive input about three female-produced signals, the primary ...

Double-attraction method to control Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) in pepper crops in Tunisia
Plant Protection Science, 2014 Blue sticky traps with and without pheromone capsules were used to monitor and control Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (1895) (Thysanoptera; Thripidae) in pepper crop greenhouses in Tunisia.

Functional Characterization of Sex Pheromone Receptors in the Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)
Insects, 2020 Pheromone receptors (PRs) found in the antennae of male moths play a vital role in the recognition of sex pheromones released by females. The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a notorious invasive pest, but its PRs have not been reported. In

2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol: a pheromone component of conifer bark beetles found in the bark of nonhost deciduous trees [PDF]
, 2012 Volatiles from bark of aspen,Populus tremulaL. and two species of birch: silver birch (Betula pendulaRoth.) and common birch (B. pubescensEhrh.), were collected by direct solvent extraction and aeration of both newly cut bark chips and undamaged stems in

Annual Review of Physiology, 2014 Mammalian pheromones control a myriad of innate social behaviors and acutely regulate hormone levels. Responses to pheromones are highly robust, reproducible, and stereotyped and likely involve developmentally predetermined neural circuits. Here, I review several facets of pheromone transduction in mammals, including (a) chemosensory receptors and ...
